Association between Physical Activity Advice Only or Structured Exercise Training with Blood Pressure Levels in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract

AER, RES, and high-intensity combined training are associated with BP reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes, especially in exercise programs lasting more than 150 min/week. PA advice only is also associated with lower BP levels.

The Effect of Interval Training and Nettle Supplement on Glycemic Control and Blood Pressure in Men WithType 2 Diabetes

“…Based on this, high-intensity exercise was effective in lowering BP in patients with type 2 diabetes, especially if the exercise program sessions exceeded 150 min/wk. 10 Furthermore, regular exercise has been introduced as a therapeutic approach in improving BP. 48 Interestingly, maintaining systolic BP at 140 mm Hg, depending on age of the patients, resulted in a 28%-44% and 20%-35% decrease in the incidence of strokes and ischemic heart disease respectively.…”

“…2,10 Treatment of hypertension in patients with diabetes is essential to prevent cardiovascular complications such as stroke, coronary heart disease, etc. 2 For achieving this purpose and facilitating treatment approaches, walking, exercising, weight control and diet modifications are crucial steps.…”

Exercise interventions in polypathological aging patients that coexist with diabetes mellitus: improving functional status and quality of life

“…In addition to the beneficial effects of exercise interventions on glycemic control (Umpierre et al 2011) and on the cardiovascular risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes (Balducci et al 2004;Figueira et al 2014), physical exercise is an effective intervention to improve muscle strength, power output, cardiovascular function, and functional capacity in elderly diabetic patients (Balducci et al 2012;Ibañez et al 2008;Geirsdottir et al 2012). In this regard, combined resistance and endurance training appears to serve as an effective exercise intervention to promote overall physical fitness in diabetic patients (Balducci et al 2012).…”

“…Although descriptive and systematic reviews have been written on the effects of exercise interventions on glycemic control of diabetics patients (Snowling and Hopkins 2006;Umpierre et al 2011;Hwang and Kim 2014;Asano et al 2014;Figueira et al 2014), at the best of the authors' knowledge, no previous reviews have focused the effects of resistance, endurance, or combined resistance and endurance training in the glycemic control, neuromuscular and cardiovascular function, as well as functional capacity in elderly with type 2 diabetes. In addition, the effects of exercise interventions in the functional capacity in diabetic elderly at a polyphatological conditions and severe functional decline have not been addressed in previous reviews.…”

Fatores Associados a Tensão Arterial Não Controlada em Pessoas com Diabetes Tipo 2 Seguidas nos Cuidados de Saúde Primários em Portugal

“…Este fator tem sido pouco estudado como preditor de controlo tensional mas sabe-se que a atividade física tem efeitos benéficos na diminuição da TA em pessoas com diabetes. 22,[55][56][57] Ainda assim, há diversos estudos que reportam uma terapêutica não farmacológica insuficiente no que se refere a exercício físico em pessoas com diabetes, mostrando muito potencial de melhoria no seu controlo tensional. 36 Seria então esperada uma relação direta com o controlo tensional em pessoas com diabetes.…”
