SUMMARY
The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of isometric handgrip training (IHT) on blood pressure of hypertensive patients with peripheral arterial disease. Will be recruited 30 patients which will be randomized into 2 groups (15 per group), IHT and control group (CG). IHT group will training isometric contraction for 12 weeks. In CG patients will be encouraged to increase the level of physical activity. In the pre and post-intervention cardiovascular measures will be obtained.
