Implication

May support water aerobics for BP control in hypertensive men; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.

Structured PICO

Does a 10-week water aerobic exercise program reduce resting blood pressure in men with stage 1 or 2 essential hypertension?

P
Population
40 men with stage 1 or 2 essential hypertension referring to Tehran University Clinics. Intervention group (n=12, mean age 48.33), control group (n=28, mean age 46.96).
I
Intervention
Supervised 10-week water aerobic training program of 55 min sessions, 3 days per week on alternate days
C
Comparator
No regular training program during the 10-week period
O
Outcome
Resting blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure) at the end of the study (48 hours after the last training session)surrogate

A 10-week water aerobic exercise program significantly reduces systolic and mean arterial blood pressure in men with stage 1 or 2 essential hypertension.
