Abstract:
Physical activity (PA) is a key component of lifestyle changes for managing arterial hypertension. Robust scientific evidence supports the benefits of PA on blood pressure and cardiovascular risk. However, despite clear guidelines, patients with comorbidities often struggle to apply them. Discouragement is common among these patients, and many barriers must be overcome. It is important to individualize the approach to PA in patients with hypertension. Tailoring PA to each person's abilities can help establish this habit, improve blood pressure levels, and decrease cardiovascular risk.
