An isometric training band (ITB) has been identified as an alternative modality; however, its long\u2010term effects on resting and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) remains unknown. This study assessed the effects of the ITB on resting BP and AmBP following 4\u00a0weeks of IRT. Forty\u2010two normotensive adults (22 male, 20 female; mean\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0SD, age 31\u00a0\u00b1\u00a014\u00a0years, systolic [sBP], 120\u00a0\u00b1\u00a05 mmHg, diastolic [dBP], 72\u00a0\u00b1\u00a07 mmHg), were randomised to a control (CON), isometric handgrip (IHG) or ITB group. Resting (systolic, diastolic, mean arterial BP and heart rate [HR]) and AmBP (24\u2010h, daytime and night\u2010time) were measured pre\u2010 and post\u20104\u00a0weeks of supervised IRT (4 x 2\u2010min contractions at 30% MVC [IHG] or 4 x 2\u2010min contractions at CR\u201010 values equivalent to 30% MVC [ITB]). Resting sBP was reduced for IHG (\u22124.6 mmHg,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05) and ITB (\u22124.5 mmHg,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05) following 4\u00a0weeks of IRT, alongside significant within\u2010group differences in night\u2010time sBP for both training groups (ITB \u22124 mmHg, IHG, \u22124.7 mmHg). No differences were seen within or between groups for resting dBP, mBP, HR and 24\u2010h and daytime AmBP (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0&gt;\u00a00.05 across all measures). These findings suggest 4\u00a0weeks of IRT using the ITB can elicit reductions in resting BP and night\u2010time AmBP in normotensives comparable to IHG, indicating the ITB may offer a practical and cost\u2010effective alternative to established interventions.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejsc.70202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,7]],"date-time":"2026-06-07T03:25:07Z","timestamp":1780802707000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Effects of a 4\u2010Week Multi\u2010Exercise Isometric Resistance Training Programme on Resting and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Normotensive Adults"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7369-016X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ben H.","family":"Wright","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport, Health Sciences and Social Work Oxford Brookes University  Oxford UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4229-6888","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark R.","family":"Antrobus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Education, Childhood, Youth &amp; Sport, Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Language Studies The Open University  Milton Keynes UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4625-1927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter G.
