Answer :

A study is conducted to see if a daily exercise intervention affects blood pressure among people with pre-hypertension. The study design being used is a randomized controlled trial (RCT).

What is a randomized controlled trial?

Generally,  In an RCT, the study participants are randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. This helps to ensure that any differences between the two groups are not due to preexisting differences between them, but rather are due to the intervention being tested.

In this case, the intervention is a daily exercise intervention, and the outcome being measured is blood pressure among people with pre-hypertension.

The control group serves as a comparison group, and any changes in blood pressure observed in the intervention group can be attributed to the intervention rather than other factors.
