Key result
Aerobic training increased VO2 max by 8% (P<.001) and improved insulin resistance (P=.039) and forearm blood flow (P<.001) in overweight-obese hypertensive patients.

Does aerobic training improve vascular and hormonal responses in sedentary overweight-obese hypertensive patients?
Aerobic training improves vascular function and insulin resistance in overweight-obese hypertensive patients, independent of changes in ambulatory blood pressure.
Waib et al. (2010) conducted an RCT in Overweight-obese hypertension. Aerobic training vs. Callisthenic exercise was evaluated on Vascular and hormonal responses (including VO2 max, insulin resistance, cortisol, forearm blood flow, and ambulatory blood pressure). Aerobic training increased VO2 max by 8% (P<.001) and improved insulin resistance (P=.039) and forearm blood flow (P<.001) in overweight-obese hypertensive patients.
