Furthermore, as this method is uncomfortable, it may itself constitute a barrier to the study, given that three measurements must be taken within a short period of time (3 months). However, automated office blood pressure measurement, taken at rest, when carried out rigorously and in accordance with the guidelines, may offer a level of accuracy similar to that of ambulatory monitoring.","3 times: Baseline, 12 weeks and 24 weeks",[14,18,21,24],{"measure":15,"description":16,"timeFrame":17},"Adherence\u002FRetention","Attendance records (percent of sessions attended) and study completion rate.","3 times: baseline, 12 weeks and 24 weeks",{"measure":19,"description":20,"timeFrame":17},"Motivational Regulation: Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-3 (BREQ-3)","The Portuguese version of the BREQ-3 assesses the regulation of motivation in exercise through 18 items, which are subdivided into six dimensions (amotivation, external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, integrated regulation and intrinsic motivation), with responses given on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (\"I strongly disagree\") to 4 (\"I strongly agree\").",{"measure":22,"description":23,"timeFrame":17},"Short Form Health Survey-12v2 (SF-12v2)","The SF12v2 is a shortened version of the SF-36 (Short-Form Health Survey-36), which measures physical and mental health in relation to quality of life on a 12-item scale covering eight dimensions (physical functioning, physical role limitations, bodily pain, general health perceptions, energy\u002Fvitality, social functioning, emotional role limitations and mental health), which are summarised into two domains: the physical component summary and the mental component summary.

However, studies in this field are still inconsistent, combining classical and contemporary techniques as well as equipment, and the protocols are not always clear. Furthermore, there are no studies that highlight the importance of the instructor's communication and the impact this may have on both blood pressure outcomes and psychological outcomes. This protocol aims to explore the influence, on the above-mentioned outcomes, of supportive communication based on Self-Determination Theory, used during classical Pilates classes.\n\nMethods and Design: The study consists of a 24-week, two-arm randomised controlled trial in which adults with hypertension will practise a Classical Pilates sequence in either a control group receiving neutral feedback or an experimental group receiving supportive feedback based on Self-Determination Theory. The 50-minute sessions will take place twice a week. Outcomes will be assessed at three time points: baseline, 12 weeks and 24 weeks, and will consist of measurements of resting blood pressure, adherence, basic psychological needs, motivational regulation, quality of life and life satisfaction.\n\nDiscussion: The study will provide an understanding of the influence of supportive communication on physiological and psychological variables, and may contribute to the development of safe, low-cost intervention programmes that ensure adherence and effectiveness in clinical populations.",[39,44],{"label":40,"type":6,"description":41,"interventionNames":42},"Control: Classical Pilates","A group of people with high blood pressure following a predefined Classical Pilates protocol, with neutral communication from the instructors (a regular class that takes into account safety, corrections and adaptations to the exercises, but without any specific support).",[43],"Other: Control",{"label":45,"type":46,"description":47,"interventionNames":48},"Experimental: Classical Pilates and Need Supportive Communication","EXPERIMENTAL","A group of people with high blood pressure following a predefined Classical Pilates protocol, with communication designed to support their basic psychological needs, based on Self-Determination Theory.",[49],"Behavioral: Self-Determination Theory Based Supportive Communication",[51,58],{"type":52,"name":53,"description":54,"armGroupLabels":55,"otherNames":56},"BEHAVIORAL","Self-Determination Theory Based Supportive Communication","The intervention will last 24 weeks, and both groups (intervention and control) will follow a classical Pilates matwork programme, twice a week in 50-minute sessions.
