A systematic review of the evidence for Canada's Physical Activity Guidelines for Adults (2010, background): “Numerous reviews of the literature (of epidemiological and randomized controlled trials) have supported an inverse relationship between physical activity/fitness and in the incidence of hypertension [20,87,89,94-102].”
Evidence for prescribing exercise as therapy in chronic disease (2006, methodology): “Another meta-analysis (Fagard, 2001) extracted 44 randomized-controlled trials of aerobic exercise (for at least 4 weeks) and found that in the whole group (n5 1529), training led to a 3.4mmHg decrease in systolic blood pressure and a 2.4mmHg decrease in diastolic blood pressure.”
2007 ESH‐ESC Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension (2007, background): “Even moderate levels of exercise lowered blood pressure, (562) and this type of training also reduced body weight, body fat and waist circumference, and increased insulin sensitivity and HDL-cholesterol levels.”
