Key result
Structured exercise interventions consistently reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
Why the study?
Hypertension is often neglected due to lack of symptoms, necessitating simple interventions like exercise for prevention and control.
Do exercise interventions reduce blood pressure in adults aged ≥18 years with hypertension?
Systematic Review
Do exercise interventions reduce blood pressure in adults aged ≥18 years with hypertension?
Various exercise interventions, such as aerobic and Tera gymnastics, are safe and effective non-pharmacological strategies for lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
Supports exercise for hypertension BP control; leaves open need for RCTs to guide specific regimens.
Background: Hypertension is a global disease whose symptoms are often not perceived by patients, causing the condition to be frequently neglected. Therefore, simple interventions are needed to prevent and control hypertension, one of which is exercise Methods: This study employed a literature review method by searching articles in the Google Scholar and PubMed databases and applying predetermined inclusion criteria. Results: Based on ten reviewed articles, various types of exercise, including Tera gymnastics, hypertension exercise, aerobic exercise, and Prolanis exercise, were proven to effectively reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Conclusion: Exercise interventions have been shown to reduce blood pressure and can therefore be used as a reference for the prevention and management of hypertension.

Andiani et al. (2026) conducted a systematic review in Hypertension. Exercise interventions vs. No exercise/control group was evaluated on Blood pressure reduction. Various types of exercise interventions, including Tera gymnastics, hypertension exercise, aerobic exercise, and Prolanis exercise, effectively reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
