Key result
Daily exercise on three consecutive days significantly lowered post-exercise systolic and diastolic blood pressure on day 3 compared to alternating day exercise and a non-exercise control.
RCT (n=9)
Randomized cross-over
No
Consecutive daily exercise may enhance post-exercise BP reduction; hypothesis-generating and leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Objectives: Acute exercise can result in post-exercise hypotension (PEH) lasting up to 24-h. Whether exercise performed on consecutive days would lead to an accumulating PEH effect has yet to be determined. The purpose of this study was to compare daily exercise (DE) to exercise performed on alternating days (AE) and control (CON) on PEH.

Zeigler et al. (2018) conducted an RCT in Elevated blood pressure (n=9). Daily exercise vs. Alternating day exercise and non-exercise control was evaluated on Post-exercise systolic blood pressure on day 3 (p=<0.001). Daily exercise on three consecutive days significantly lowered post-exercise systolic and diastolic blood pressure on day 3 compared to alternating day exercise and a non-exercise control.
