Supports supervised moderate-intensity aerobic exercise as initial therapy for stage 1 hypertension in men; extends RCT evidence to this population.
Daimo et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Stage 1 hypertension (n=24). Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise vs. Usual daily activities was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure at 16 weeks (p=0.001). Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 16 weeks significantly reduced systolic blood pressure to 135.7 mmHg compared to 142.2 mmHg in the control group among men with stage 1 hypertension.
