Why the study?
Does exercise training lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure?
Does exercise training lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure?
Various forms of exercise training effectively lower blood pressure, with isometric resistance training showing potential for the greatest reductions in systolic blood pressure.
Isometric resistance training may be prioritized for SBP reduction; extends evidence by ranking exercise modalities for hypertension.
Endurance, dynamic resistance, and isometric resistance training lower SBP and DBP, whereas combined training lowers only DBP. Data from a small number of isometric resistance training studies suggest this form of training has the potential for the largest reductions in SBP.
