The effectiveness of aerobic exercise for hypertensive population: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…It is worth noting that the pooled SBP after AE showed a significant heterogeneity. The sensitivity analysis showed a relatively stable result for SBP after excluding two individual studies, which indicated a relatively higher heart rate, longer duration of aerobic training or a younger age. The study presented by He et al demonstrated that a relatively high heart rate with a long‐term AE (12 weeks) might induce a more significant reduction on SBP, which was significantly different from that of other studies, therefore this study was removed from the dataset, which dramatically changed the results.…”

Hypertension is a chronic age‐related disease, and in a study by Duncan et al, the overall age of study participants was significantly younger compared to that in other studies, which might be a contributing factor to the change in results.…”

“…In seven studies (316 samples), data for heart rate associated with each intervention was specifically reported. The heart rate of the AE group was significantly reduced compared with the control group (MD: −4.94, 95% CI: –6.46 to −3.43, P = 0.78, I 2 = 0%) (Figure ).…”

Walking Exercise as an alternative choice in lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients: Systematic Review

“…Also, there was a decrease in norepinephrine levels by about 30%. This reduction goes hand in hand with a decrease in blood pressure (He et al, 2018). Research conducted by Simona M., et al Proved that walking exercises that were carried out routinely for 6 months were able to significantly reduce blood pressure with the results of statistical tests p value <0.001 (Mandini et al, 2018).…”

“…Exercises are carried out in the hospital corridor along the 30 meters. Each exercise of the respondent was accompanied by a health worker and was carried out in stages (He et al, 2018). Meanwhile, Simona M., et al in their research applied walking exercises that were carried out every day for respondents.…”
