Key result
Aerobic endurance training significantly reduced daytime systolic blood pressure (-3.2 mmHg; 95% CI -5.0 to -1.3) and diastolic blood pressure (-2.7 mmHg) in healthy adults.
Why the study?
Does aerobic endurance training reduce daytime and night-time ambulatory blood pressure in healthy adults?

Supports aerobic endurance training for hypertension prevention; reinforces lifestyle guidelines with ambulatory BP evidence.
Cornelissen et al. (2013) conducted a meta-analysis in healthy adults (n=633). Aerobic endurance training vs. Control was evaluated on daytime SBP (MD -3.2 mmHg, 95% CI -5.0 to -1.3). Aerobic endurance training significantly reduced daytime systolic blood pressure (-3.2 mmHg; 95% CI -5.0 to -1.3) and diastolic blood pressure (-2.7 mmHg) in healthy adults.
