Key result
Baseline SBP, nighttime SBP, and nighttime HR predict BP responsiveness to aerobic training with ~93% accuracy.
Why the study?
Blood pressure responses to aerobic training vary widely between individuals, and predictive models to identify hemodynamic markers of blood pressure responsiveness are still unknown.
Do baseline hemodynamic markers predict blood pressure responsiveness to continuous aerobic training in postmenopausal women with essential hypertension?

Odds Ratio: 1.202 (95% CI 1.08–1.338)
p-value: p=<0.001
Baseline systolic blood pressure, nighttime systolic blood pressure, and nighttime heart rate can accurately predict blood pressure responsiveness to continuous aerobic training in postmenopausal women with hypertension.

Baseline hemodynamics predict BP response to aerobic training in hypertensive postmenopausal women; extends evidence for personalized exercise prescriptions.
Ferreira et al. (2023) conducted an RCT in essential hypertension (n=65). Continuous aerobic training vs. nonexercising control was evaluated on Diagnosis of blood pressure responsiveness to continuous aerobic training (OR 1.202, 95% CI 1.080-1.338, p=<0.001). Baseline systolic blood pressure, nighttime systolic blood pressure, and nighttime heart rate predicted blood pressure responsiveness to continuous aerobic training with 92.6% accuracy (P<0.001).
