May warrant prioritizing 40-min sessions for sustained BP control in treated elderly hypertensives; extends volume-dependent acute effects data.
Does acute resistance exercise of different volumes reduce blood pressure in elderly individuals with treated hypertension?
Higher volume acute resistance exercise (40 minutes) is required to achieve sustained 24-hour systolic blood pressure reductions in treated hypertensive older adults.
