Why the study?
Does varying the frequency of exercise training affect the magnitude of blood pressure reduction in sedentary and hypertensive subjects?
Does varying the frequency of exercise training affect the magnitude of blood pressure reduction in sedentary and hypertensive subjects?
Exercise lowers blood pressure with significant reductions seen at 3 bouts per week, but increasing frequency to 7 bouts per week provides minimal additional blood pressure lowering benefit.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Three weekly bouts may suffice for BP reduction in sedentary subjects; leaves open optimal frequency in hypertension.
Jennings et al. (1991) studied this question.
