May improve orthostatic tolerance in select untrained subjects; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does moderate exercise training improve orthostatic tolerance in asymptomatic, untrained healthy subjects?
Moderate exercise training increases orthostatic tolerance in subjects with low initial tolerance, suggesting potential value in managing untrained patients with syncope due to orthostatic intolerance.
Mtinangi et al. (1999) studied this question.
