Regular physical activity, particularly aerobic exercise, is crucial for managing mild hypertension and reducing cardiovascular risks. Exercise guidelines recommend specific intensities and durations for safe and effective blood pressure control.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Chronic blood pressure (BP) control is vital for preventing hypertension-related morbidity and mortality.
  • Physical activity may prevent hypertension and lower elevated BP.
  • Cardiorespiratory fitness and aerobic exercise may reduce mortality in hypertensive patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline key factors for safe and effective exercise prescription in mild hypertension.
  • To provide recommendations for exercise type, frequency, intensity, and duration.
  • To consider the interaction between antihypertensive medications and exercise.

Main Methods:

  • Review of epidemiologic and longitudinal studies.
  • Analysis of preliminary data on cardiorespiratory fitness and mortality.

  • Consideration of safety aspects, exercise parameters (type, frequency, intensity, duration), and drug interactions.

    • Main Results:

    • Aerobic exercise is recommended for BP reduction and coronary artery disease risk attenuation.
    • Recommended intensity: 55-85% of maximal heart rate.
    • Recommended weekly energy expenditure: 14-20 kcal/kg body weight.

    Conclusions:

    • Tailored exercise prescriptions are essential for managing mild hypertension.
    • Aerobic exercise offers significant benefits for hypertensive individuals.
    • Careful consideration of exercise parameters and medication interactions ensures patient safety and treatment efficacy.
