May support adjunctive exercise with reduced antihypertensives; hypothesis-generating in rats and requires human trials before practice change.
Does exercise training at varying intensities and ages, with or without antihypertensive medication, reduce resting blood pressure in hypertensive rats?
Moderate exercise combined with reduced doses of antihypertensive medication can normalize resting blood pressure in male hypertensive rats.
