“…We conducted the present meta-analysis following the protocol that was previously registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42020151269), and the protocol has previously been published 60 . The protocol for this systematic review and meta-analysis, as previously established, followed the checklist of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews 60 .…”

“…This systematic review based on the previously published protocol 60 included studies analyzing strength training in male and female patients with established hypertension. Studies with interventions such as sports, other types of exercises, such as Pilates, stretching, yoga, or physical activities that did not have adequate specifications of exercises used in the methodology were not considered for analysis.…”

“…As proposed in protocol 60 , all studies using strength training as an intervention to treat arterial hypertension in men or women published between 2009 and December 2020 were included in this search. The search was performed by two independent raters (RRC and JCR).…”

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world and arterial hypertension (AH) accounts for 13.8% of deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases. Strength training interventions could be an important alternative tool for blood pressure control, however, consistent evidence and the most effective training protocol for this purpose are yet to be established. The current study used the Cochrane methodology to systematically review randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effect of strength training on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. A systematic search was conducted in the PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and World Health Organization databases. This review included controlled trials that evaluated the effect of strength training for 8 weeks or more in adults with arterial hypertension, published up to December 2020. Data are described and reported as the weighted mean difference of systolic and diastolic pressure and a 95% confidence interval. Protocol registration: PROSPERO registration number CRD42020151269. A total of 14 studies were identified, including a combined total of 253 participants with hypertension. The meta-analysis showed that mean values of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased significantly after strength training interventions. The strongest effect of strength training on decreasing blood pressure was observed in protocols with a moderate to vigorous load intensity (> 60% of one-repetition maximum-1RM), a frequency of at least 2 times per week, and a minimum duration of 8 weeks. We concluded that strength training interventions can be used as a non-drug treatment for arterial hypertension, as they promote significant decreases in blood pressure.
