Expert: Here's how much exercise you need to lower your blood pressure

Several studies have shown that systematic aerobic activity exerts a protective effect against the future development of hypertension in men. However, there are fewer studies and less prognostic information available for women.

On the other hand, there is strong evidence that regular aerobic exercise reduces resting blood pressure as well as exercise blood pressure in both normotensive and hypertensive subjects, regardless of gender. The most significant reductions in blood pressure are seen after exercise in patients with high baseline blood pressure.

In an average population, the reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure for hypertensive patients undergoing systematic aerobic exercise is approximately 7/6 mmHg.

These reductions are of great clinical importance, as it has been estimated that a 5 mmHg drop in systolic blood pressure is associated with a decrease in all-cause mortality, stroke mortality, and coronary heart disease-related mortality (with 7%, 14% and 9%, respectively).

Therefore, aerobic exercise is considered an important approach for the prevention and primary treatment of hypertension. According to the guidelines of the American Heart Association, patients with hypertension should perform aerobic exercises with moderate intensity for 30'-60' per day, 5-7 days per week, or with high intensity for at least 20' per day, 3 day by day. week.

Walking (slow or fast or alternating pace, in a straight line or in places with natural obstacles), light jogging, cycling, swimming, stair climbing and dancing are recommended./ CNA
