Clinical Effect of Individualized Exercise Prescription for Hypertension With 6-minute Walking Test (6MWT)

January 12, 2024 updated by: Yang Xi, Peking University People's Hospital

Evaluation of the Clinical Effect of the Formulation of Individualized Exercise Prescription for Hypertension With 6-minute Walking Test (6MWT)

Obesity and lack of exercise are one of the reasons for high blood pressure. Exercise can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events by reducing weight and blood pressure. The precise formulation of exercise prescription by cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) can effectively control hypertension. Our research group has formulated 50 "exercise prescriptions for hypertension population" in the early stage, but how to further effectively implement them needs to be discussed.

Based on the previous experience of undertaking the project "Exercise Prescription for Hypertensive People" of General Administration of Sport of the People's Republic of China, this research group discussed the important role of intelligent information management in the clinical effect evaluation and effective implementation of exercise prescription for hypertension; To explore the feasibility of making exercise prescription for hypertension based on 6-min walking test, and whether it is not inferior to or equivalent to the accuracy and effectiveness of making exercise prescription by CPET. The relevant results will lay a foundation for exploring the broader adaptation of hypertension exercise prescription to the population.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The 6-minute walking test (6MWT) has good universality and accessibility, and can be used as the basis for formulating exercise prescriptions. According to the consensus of Chinese experts on the application of clinical norms of the six-minute walking test, it is recommended to formulate individualized exercise prescriptions based on the average walking speed of 6MWT calculated from the six-minute walking distance (6MWD), but there is no relevant content about hypertension.
