Why the study?
Hypertension is a leading preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and premature death, prompting the need to summarize current exercise recommendations and evaluate emerging strategies like neuromotor and isometric resistance exercise.
Does exercise training improve blood pressure control in individuals with or at risk for hypertension?

Supports exercise as core nonpharmacologic hypertension therapy; extends guidelines yet leaves optimal dosing and adherence open for trials.
Hypertension is a leading preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and premature death worldwide. Due to its undeniable antihypertensive effects, exercise training is advised as an effective nonpharmacological method of preventing, treating, and controlling hypertension by the main professional and scientific societies, including the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, European Society of Hypertension, American College of Sports Medicine, and Exercise and Sport Science Australia. In this review, we aim to summarize the current recommendations of exercise training for hypertension and discuss the emerging research supporting the integration of new exercise strategies, such as neuromotor and isometric resistance exercise, for the prevention and management of hypertension.
