Supports adjunctive endurance exercise for BP control in essential hypertension; leaves open large RCTs on outcomes.

Structured PICO

Does endurance exercise training reduce blood pressure in people with essential hypertension?

P
Population
People who have essential hypertension (mild-to-moderate elevations in blood pressure)
I
Intervention
Endurance exercise training (including intensities of 40-70% VO2max)
C
Comparator
Higher-intensity training (for the intensity comparison)
O
Outcome
Systolic and diastolic blood pressuressurrogate

Endurance exercise training is an efficacious intervention that lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure by approximately 10 mmHg in patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension.
