The ambulatory hypotensive effect of aerobic training: a reappraisal through a meta‐analysis of selected moderators

The effectiveness of regular exercise in decreasing both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) is well‐established. Our purpose was to assess the impact of both subject and physical activity program characteristics on ambulatory BP through a meta‐analysis of the existing literature. Three datab...

Description
Summary:The effectiveness of regular exercise in decreasing both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) is well‐established. Our purpose was to assess the impact of both subject and physical activity program characteristics on ambulatory BP through a meta‐analysis of the existing literature. Three databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science) were searched using relevant terms and strategies. From 637 identified records, 37 studies met inclusion criteria: details about training intervention and participant characteristics, pre‐ and post‐training ambulatory BP measurements, at home (HBPM) or during 24‐h (ABPM). The weighted mean difference was for 24‐h systolic/diastolic ABPM (n = 847 participants): −4.06/−2.77 mmHg (95%CI: −5.19 to −2.93/−3.58 to −1.97; P
