Key result
Dynamic aerobic training lowers systolic blood pressure by ~5 mmHg, primarily in hypertensive adults.
Why the study?
The blood pressure-lowering effect of dynamic aerobic training varies and is significant mainly in hypertensive patients, with unclear effects on night-time pressure.
Does dynamic aerobic training reduce blood pressure in adults with elevated blood pressure?
Population
Adults with elevated blood pressure and normotensive subjects
Comparison

May support aerobic training for BP lowering in hypertension; extends prior reviews but leaves optimal regimens open.
Does dynamic aerobic training reduce blood pressure in adults with elevated blood pressure?
Mean Difference: -5.3
Dynamic aerobic training effectively lowers conventional and daytime blood pressure, particularly in hypertensive adults.
Robert Fagard (1995) conducted a review in Hypertension. Dynamic aerobic training vs. Controls was evaluated on Conventional blood pressure (MD -5.3 mmHg (systolic) and -4.8 mmHg (diastolic)). Dynamic aerobic training reduced conventional systolic blood pressure by an average of 5.3 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 4.8 mmHg, with significant effects primarily in hypertensive adults.
