Exercise intensity and hypertension: what's new?

Abstract in brief

• Moderate aerobic exercise helps reduce blood pressure in hypertensive individuals, but increasing intensity up to 70% of maximal oxygen consumption doesn't necessarily lead to greater blood pressure decreases.
• High-intensity intermittent exercise, performed at around 70% of maximal oxygen uptake, can significantly lower blood pressure and improve other health markers, often with less training volume and time.
• The review highlights that both single and repeated exercise bouts, especially high-intensity intermittent training, can effectively improve blood pressure and vascular health in people with hypertension.]
