Tenho um artigo científico na área de fisiologia do exercício que preciso que seja revisado quanto ao seu inglês visto que os revisores da revista "Frontiers in physiology" indicaram que a redação do artigo pode ser otimizada. O artigo tem aproximadamente 2500 palavras. Abaixo o resumo do texto para que possa conhecer o tema

Aims: Isometric handgrip training (IHT) has emerging as an alternative for blood pressure reduction in hypertensive patients.
However, the mechanisms underlying the reductions in blood pressure after IHT is poorly known. Thus, the aim this study was to analyze the vascular effects of IHT in hypertensive patients.
Methodology: A randomized controlled trial was conduct with 33 hypertensives (61±2 y.o.; 67% female) who were randomly assigned into: IHT or control group. IHT completed 3 weekly sessions of isometric handgrip (4 x 2 min sets, alternating the hands at 30% of maximal voluntary contraction). Before and after 12 weeks blood pressure, arterial stiffness, central and peripheral pulse wave velocity (PWV) and endothelial function were obtained.

Results: IHT significantly decreased systolic (∆=-16±2 vs. ∆=-3±3 mmHg, p<0.001) and diastolic (∆=-8±2 vs. ∆=0±2 mmHg, p=0.014) blood pressures.
Reductions in central pwv (iht: 9.1 ± 0.5 vs. 8.0 ± 0.3 m/s; Control: 8.8 ± 0.5 m/s, p<0.05) and shear rate area after occlusion significantly reduced with IHT (37822±6931 vs. 24829±5337 s-1, p<0.05).
Conclusion: 12 weeks of IHT reduced blood pressure and arterial stiffness and improved markers of endothelial function in hypertensive patients.
