Why the study?
Does a 12-week aerobic arm-cycling program reduce blood pressure and improve vascular compliance in hypertensive patients?
Does a 12-week aerobic arm-cycling program reduce blood pressure and improve vascular compliance in hypertensive patients?
A 12-week arm-cycling aerobic exercise program significantly reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure and improves small artery compliance in hypertensive patients, offering a viable alternative for those unable to perform lower-limb exercise.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Arm-cycling exercise offers alternative for hypertensive patients with lower-limb limitations; extends aerobic training evidence to upper-body modalities.
Westhoff et al. (2008) studied this question.
