Research Aims to Lower Blood Pressure

 

Southern Cross University researchers are seeking volunteers to assist with a new project aimed at shedding more light on managing high blood pressure without the use of drugs.

The study, which has been approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of Southern Cross University, is seeking participants aged 18-60 with higher than normal blood pressure but who are not yet on medication. Research sessions will take place in the pool at the Southern Cross University’s Lismore campus and will investigate how immersion in water and water exercise may affect blood pressure.

Roz Beavers from Southern Cross University’s School of Health and Human Sciences, who is undertaking the project as part of a PhD in exercise physiology, said the research would focus on management of high blood pressure, or hypertension, as an alternative to medication.
