BackgroundAerobic exercise (AE) is recommended as first‐line antihypertensive lifestyle therapy based on strong evidence showing that it lowers blood pressure (BP) 5 to 7 mm Hg among adults with hypertension. Because of weaker evidence showing that dynamic resistance training (RT) reduces BP 2 to 3 mm Hg among adults with hypertension, it is recommended as adjuvant lifestyle therapy to AE training. Yet, existing evidence suggests that dynamic RT can lower BP as much or more than AE.Methods and ResultsWe meta‐analyzed 64 controlled studies (71 interventions) to determine the efficacy of dynamic RT as stand‐alone antihypertensive therapy. Participants (N=2344) were white (57%), middle‐aged (47.2±19.0 years), and overweight (26.8±3.4 kg/m2) adults with prehypertension (126.7±10.3/76.8±8.7 mm Hg); 15% were on antihypertensive medication. Overall, moderate‐intensity dynamic RT was performed 2.8±0.6 days/week for 14.4±7.9 weeks and elicited small‐to‐moderate reductions in systolic BP (SBP; d+=−0.31; 95% CIs, −0.43, −0.19; −3.0 mm Hg) and diastolic BP (DBP; d+=−0.30; 95% CIs, −0.38, −0.18; −2.1 mm Hg) compared to controls (Ps<0.001). Greater BP reductions occurred among samples with higher resting SBP/DBP: ≈6/5 mm Hg for hypertension, ≈3/3 mm Hg for prehypertension, and ≈0/1 mm Hg for normal BP (Ps<0.023). Furthermore, nonwhite samples with hypertension experienced BP reductions that were approximately twice the magnitude of those previously reported following AE training (−14.3 mm Hg [95% CIs, −19.0, −9.4]/−10.3 mm Hg [95% CIs, −14.5, −6.2]).ConclusionsOur results indicate that for nonwhite adult samples with hypertension, dynamic RT may elicit BP reductions that are comparable to or greater than those reportedly achieved with AE training. Dynamic RT should be further investigated as a viable stand‐alone therapeutic exercise option for adult populations with high BP.

“…Therefore, increase in muscle strength may provide reduction in muscular activation and metabolic demand for the same absolute effort. These adaptations positively reflected on the hemodynamic responses, leading to lower cardiovascular stress during a submaximal aerobic effort in older adults 30 . Additionally, RT has been shown as an important factor in the control of muscular aging and incidence of chronic-degenerative diseases, especially metabolic syndrome, since it positively reflect on insulin resistance, abdominal obesity and dyslipidemia.…”

Introduction: Resistance training (RT) has been widely used for older adults in order to minimize or reverse the deleterious effects of aging in the neuromuscular system. However, the potential benefits of RT on arterial blood pressure and resting heart rate in older adults remain controversial. Objective: To analyze the effect of eight weeks of RT on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) in older women without hypertension. Methods: Seventeen women (aged 66.0 ± 5.8 years) without previous experience in RT were randomly assigned to either a training (TG, n = 10) or control (CG, n = 7) groups. Hemodynamic parameters at rest were evaluated by auscultatory method (mercury sphygmomanometer) and HR monitor (Polar), before and after eight weeks of experimental period. Results: Reduction possibly caused by RT were found only to SBP (-13.4 mmHg, p <0.01). Although significant reductions were observed for DBP and MAP, the analysis of covariance showed no interaction Group x Time significant. Conclusion: RT proved to be an effective training to promote adaptations in the cardiovascular system of older women without hypertension. Eight weeks of RT can significantly reduce resting SBP in older women.

Blood pressure increases transiently during exercise in proportion to exercise intensity as a response to the increased demand for blood flow to the muscles. However, in addition to exercise intensity, many factors, including age and arterial stiffness, affect blood pressure during exercise. Aerobic exercises such as walking and cycling and resistance exercises such as lifting objects and climbing stairs are part of daily life activities. Therefore, exaggerated blood pressure responses to exercise increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. In this paper, the effects of habitual exercise on blood pressure during aerobic and resistance exercise are reviewed. Keywords : exercise blood pressure, exercise training, resistance exercise, aerobic exercise Exaggerated blood pressure response to exerciseBlood pressure transiently increases during aerobic 1-3) and resistance 4,5) exercise in proportion to exercise intensity as a response to the increased demand for blood flow to the muscles. However, many other factors besides exercise intensity affect blood pressure during exercise. We previously explored factors affecting blood pressure during self-paced outdoor walking using a wrist-type blood pressure monitor 6) . Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was higher during walking compared to the resting state, but the increase in SBP was greater at the 1 km mark than at the 2 and 3 km marks. In stepwise regression analysis, air temperature and body mass index (BMI), as well as resting SBP and walking pace, were identified as independent predictors of SBP during walking. In laboratory tests during which exercise intensity was strictly controlled according to the testing protocol, age was an important factor affecting SBP during exercise; subjects older than 70 years had higher SBP during cycling than subjects in their 60s 3) . With regard to resistance exercise, age, sex, arterial stiffness, BMI, and use of antihypertensive medication, as well as resting SBP, were identified as independent predictors of SBP during exercise 5)
