Does moderate physical activity lower 24-h blood pressure in prehypertensive men and women?
Moderate physical activity is associated with lower 24-hour blood pressure in prehypertensive individuals, potentially reducing the risk of developing hypertension.
Moderate physical activity promotes lower BP during a 24-h period in prehypertensive men and women. The risk for developing hypertension is likely to be lowered if moderate intensity physical activity in this vulnerable population is encouraged.
