Objective: To explore the effect of high-intensity intermittent training on blood pressure homeostasis and cardiac function in patients with essential hypertension. Methods: 100 patients with essential hypertension treated in our hospital from April 2019 to September 2021 were selected. According to the intervention method, the patients were divided into control group and study group. The patients in the control group received medium-intensity continuous training and the patients in the study group received high-intensity intermittent training. The blood pressure homeostasis and cardiac function of the two groups were compared before and after training. Results: there was no significant difference in blood pressure homeostasis between the two groups before training intervention (P > 0.05). After 16 weeks of training, the systolic blood pressure in the study group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05), while the diastolic blood pressure was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05); There was no significant difference in the evaluation of various indexes of cardiac function between the two groups before training (P > 0.05). The shortening rate of left ventricular inner diameter, left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke output in the study group were higher than those in the control group after 16 weeks of training (P < 0.05), while the output per minute was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: the use of high-intensity intermittent training intervention during the rehabilitation of patients with essential hypertension can effectively control blood pressure and improve cardiac function.
