• Effects of exercise and diet on chronic disease. (2005, background): “8 mmHg (100), and both aerobic (190, 411) and resistance exercise training (191) have the ability to lower blood pressure, effects of which are largely independent of weight loss (17, 411).”
• Exercise is the real polypill. (2013, background): “Resistance training, including either dynamic (72, 74, 222) or static exercises (74, 221, 358), also has a BP-lowering effect in people with normal pressure or prehypertension, overall, 3.”
• Exercise as medicine – evidence for prescribing exercise as therapy in 26 different chronic diseases (2015, result): “The latter study adds to previous meta-analysis (Kelley & Kelley, 2000; Cornelissen & Fagard, 2005).”
• Evidence for prescribing exercise as therapy in chronic disease (2006, neutral): “A meta-analysis (Kelley & Kelley, 2000) of 10 randomized-controlled trials assessing the effect of at least 6 weeks of strength conditioning found a 3mmHg decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in a mixed group of normotensive and hypertensive adults.”
• Epidemiological evidence for the role of physical activity in reducing risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. (2005, background): “In a meta-analysis of 11 trials (320 participants) of strength training (on average, three 38-min sessions per week over a 14-wk period, with 1–4 sets ranging from 4 to 50 repetitions at 35% of participants’ repetition maximum), blood pressure decreases of 3/3 mmHg (2%/4%) were observed (49).”
