What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change from baseline casual systolic blood pressure at 8 weeks	It will be evaluated with oscillometric method of measuring blood pressure with an automated cuff.	baseline and 8 weeks
Change from baseline 24-hour systolic blood pressure at 8 weeks	It will be evaluated by 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM)	baseline and 8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Casual diastolic blood pressure	It will be evaluated with oscillometric method of measuring blood pressure with an automated cuff.	baseline and 8 weeks
Heart rate variability	It will be evaluated using a previously validated heart rate monitor Polar 810i, and the results will be analyzed in time- and frequency-domains.	baseline and 8 weeks
Diastolic and mean blood pressure	It will be evaluated by 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM)	baseline and 8 weeks
Functional capacity	Evaluate by Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)	baseline and 8 weeks
Respiratory muscle strength	The maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures will be evaluated with manovacuometer	baseline and 8 weeks
Muscle strength	The muscles (quadriceps, gastrocnemius, abdominal and spine extensors) will be evaluated with dynamometer.	baseline and 8 weeks
Flexibility	It will be evaluated by bank of Wells test.	baseline and 8 weeks
Body Mass Index	It will be calculated as weight (kg) divided by height squared.	baseline and 8 weeks
Oxidative damage	It will be evaluated by advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP)	baseline and 8 weeks
Antioxidant capacity	It will be evaluated by total antioxidant capacity (TAC).	baseline and 8 weeks
Lipid profile	By blood analysis (LDL, HDL, total cholesterol, glucose and triglycerides).	baseline and 8 weeks
Endothelial function	By blood analysis (Nitrite measurement/NOx).	baseline and 8 weeks
Inflammation	It will be evaluated by C-reactive protein in blood analysis	baseline and 8 weeks
Creatinine	By blood analysis	baseline and 8 weeks
Lactate	By blood analysis	baselina and 8 weeks
Creatine kinase	By blood analysis	baseline and 8 weeks
Questionnaire of Quality of life	It will be evaluated by Mini-questionnaire of Quality of Life in Hypertension (MINICHAL)	baseline and 8 weeks
