Key result
A 6-week moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program significantly reduced systolic (9.91-9.36 mmHg) and diastolic (10.5-9.94 mmHg) blood pressure in primary and secondary hypertensive patients.
Why the study?
Physical activity of moderate intensity is recommended for hypertension, but whether it improves relative cardiovascular parameters in both primary and secondary hypertensive patients remained to be tested.
Does a 6-week moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program reduce blood pressure and heart rate in patients with primary and secondary hypertension?
RCT (n=69)
randomised
Yes
Does a 6-week moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program reduce blood pressure and heart rate in patients with primary and secondary hypertension?
A 6-week moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program significantly reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with primary and secondary hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports incorporating 6-week moderate aerobic exercise into hypertension management; extends evidence to secondary hypertension.
Yakasai et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Primary and secondary hypertension (n=69). Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise using cycle-ergometer vs. Control group was evaluated on Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), and Heart Rate (HR). A 6-week moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program significantly reduced systolic (9.91-9.36 mmHg) and diastolic (10.5-9.94 mmHg) blood pressure in primary and secondary hypertensive patients.
