“…However, the precise prescription of exercise should be taken into consideration, especially regarding the intensity of exercise. Considering that one of the benefits of exercise for hypertensive subjects is the PEH effect [3,18], and since exercise intensity seems to influence the magnitude of the PEH effect [19,20] it is particularly important to establish the appropriate intensity at which the exercise is carried out, With this in mind, Lee et al [21] showed a PEH in SHR (15 m.min -1 for 20 min), and there are several other studies that showed substantial benefits of exercise in SHR model [22-24]. Furthermore, it has been observed that hypertensive myocardium improved after 12 weeks of running (60 min, 5 days/week) at the velocity of 20โ25 m.min -1 [6], which corresponds to exercise performed both above and at the MLSS intensity determined by this study.…”
