“…2 Dynamic, moderately intense aerobic exercise (AE) is recommended for the prevention and treatment of high BP, 3 and it has been found to decrease SBP by 10 mm Hg and DBP by 7 mm Hg in hypertensive individuals. 4 The reductions in BP following AE have been shown to occur after only 1-2 weeks in individuals with elevated BP. 5 Currently, resistance exercise (RE) is recommended as a complement to an aerobic training programme 2,6 and offers many benefits for the aging population, including the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and sarcopaenia.…”

Effect of 4 weeks of aerobic or resistance exercise training on arterial stiffness, blood flow and blood pressure in pre- and stage-1 hypertensives

The benefits of aerobic exercise (AE) training on blood pressure (BP) and arterial stiffness are well established, but the effects of resistance training are less well delineated. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of resistance vs aerobic training on haemodynamics and arterial stiffness. Thirty pre-or stage-1 essential hypertensives (20 men and 10 women), not on any medications, were recruited (age: 48.2 ± 1.3 years) and randomly assigned to 4 weeks of either resistance (RE) or AE training. Before and after training, BP, arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity (PWV)) and vasodilatory capacity (VC) were measured. Resting systolic BP (SBP) decreased following both training modes (SBP: RE, pre 136±2.9 vs post 132±3.4; AE, pre 141±3.8 vs post 136 ± 3.4 mm Hg, P ¼ 0.005; diastolic BP: RE, pre 78 ± 1.3 vs post 74 ± 1.6; AE, pre 80 ± 1.6 vs post 77 ± 1.7 mm Hg, P ¼ 0.001). Central PWV increased (P ¼ 0.0001) following RE (11 ± 0.9-12.7 ± 0.9 m s À1 ) but decreased after AE (12.1 ± 0.8-11.1 ± 0.8 m s À1 ). Peripheral PWV also increased (P ¼ 0.013) following RE (RE, pre 11.5±0.8 vs post 12.5 ± 0.7 m s À1 ) and decreased after AE (AE, pre 12.6 ± 0.8 vs post 11.6 ± 0.7 m s À1 ). The VC area under the curve (VC AUC ) increased more with RE than that with AE (RE, pre 76±8.0 vs post 131.1±11.6; AE, pre 82.7±8.0 vs post 110.1 ± 11.6 ml per min per s per 100 ml, P ¼ 0.001). Further, peak VC (VC peak ) increased more following resistance training compared to aerobic training (RE, pre 17±1.9 vs post 25.8±2.1; AE, pre 19.2±8.4 vs post 22.9 ± 8.4 ml per min per s per 100 ml, P ¼ 0.005). Although both RE and AE training decreased BP, the change in pressure may be due to different mechanisms.

“…Its widespread application lies in the fact that it requires no special skills or facilities and is achievable by virtually all age groups with little risk of injury [5]. Furthermore, the beneficial effects of regular walking are well documented: walking programs have been shown to favorably alter aerobic capacity [6 -9], improve lipid profiles [9,10], decrease adiposity [9,11] and blood pressure [12][13][14][15], and enhance psychological well-being [16].…”

“…3,6 This has led physicians and allied health care professionals to examine alternative therapies in an effort to reduce arterial BP in these populations. The Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure 7 recommends increased physical activity as one alternative therapy and research involving exercise training in HT populations suggests that the majority (75%) of subjects involved in these studies [8][9][10][11][12] exhibit significant reductions in arterial BP.…”

Objectives: Mild to moderate acute, endurance exercise has generally been shown to reduce blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive (HT) individuals. Whether a slightly more strenuous bout of exercise can elicit a greater and more prolonged BP reduction is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two, 30-min exercise bouts, conducted at 50% and 75% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max), on the quantity and quality of BP reduction over a 24-h period. Methods: Sixteen, Stage 1 and 2 non-medicated, HT (8 men/8 women) subjects were matched with normotensive (NT) men and women (n ‫؍‬ 16). All subjects were evaluated for VO 2 max with a symptom-limited treadmill test and then completed a 30-min exercise bout at 50% and 75% of VO 2 max as well as a control (no exercise) session in random fashion on separate days. Twentyfour hour ambulatory BPs were measured after both the exercise and control settings. Data was assessed at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h post-exercise and control session. Results: A repeated-measures ANOVA showed non-sig-
