The ACHIEVE-project: Advancing Cardiovascular and Ocular Health In Eye Patients. The Acute Effect of Exercise Type And Timing on Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Intra-Ocular Pressure in Individuals With Glaucoma.
ACHIEVE aims to determine whether exercise can be a safe and effective non-drug approach to improve blood pressure control in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Although exercise is a promising and potentially well-accepted therapy, its use in clinical care is limited because the safety and effectiveness of different exercise types (aerobic, isometric, moderate, or high intensity) and timing (morning versus evening) have not been systematically studied in people with POAG and elevated blood pressure. This study will evaluate the safety and short-term effects of different exercise modalities and timings on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and blood pressure variability in patients with POAG and elevated blood pressure. It is hypothesized that: * Each exercise session will lead to a temporary reduction in blood pressure (post-exercise hypotension). * The greatest and longest-lasting reduction will occur after high-intensity aerobic exercise performed in the morning. It is also expected that all exercise types and timings will be safe for participants.
