Efficacy and position of endurance training as a non-drug therapy in the treatment of arterial hypertension

Abstract

Regular conditioning has been well documented to exert after standardised ergometry and during isometric and cold pressor testing when compared with pre-training. a beneficial effect on cardiovascular risk factors and to improve overall cardiovascular health and to reduce the The heart rate also decreased significantly during exercise testing thus implying a decrease in myocardial oxyincidence of coronary disease. There are conflicting results concerning the effect of physical exercise on gen consumption. After long-term training, a reduction in systolic and blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive patients and its importance in the treatment of hypertension. Therefore diastolic BP could also be shown during 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring. 10 male patients with mild arterial hypertension were studied in order to define the BP response to long-term These results demonstrate that long-term aerobic training leads to a decrease in systolic and diastolic BP aerobic training (60 min twice a week) under resting conditions, during standardised ergometric workload, at rest, during exercise and during 24-h BP monitoring and imply a beneficial effect in the management of during isometric exercise, during cold pressor testing and during 24-h BP monitoring.hypertension that is nearly comparable to that of drug therapy. After 18 months of regular training there were significant reductions in arterial pressures at rest, during and

Influence of a high-intensity interval training session on peripheral and central blood pressure at rest and during stress testing in healthy individuals

“…In recent years, convincing evidence has demonstrated that physical activity results in multiple health benefi ts [1] and can eff ectively reduce arterial pressure (BP) [2]. In a previous investigation, we were able to demonstrate that even a single bout of moderate continuous exercise causes a prolonged post-exercise reduction in BP [3].…”

“…Furthermore, the magnitude of the BP response to a CPT in both peripheral and central BP was attenuated after a previous HIIT session when compared with pre-exercise registration. Future research should address if regular HIIT sessions prolong the duration of these favourable eff ects on arterial compliance for more than 60 min and if, in the long term, regular HIIT can reduce arterial pressure and pressure reaction due to stress testing permanently as has been proven with regular, moderate aerobic exercise [2].…”

La hipertensión arterial era definida como presión arterial sanguínea sistólica, si era mayor que 140 mmHg y presión arterial sanguínea diastólica, si era mayor que 90 mmHg (Palmieri, 2001).…”

The modern treatment of hypertension

“…5,137,138 Psychological treatment A range of psychological or behavioural approaches, which include yoga, transcendental meditation, biofeedback procedures, and relaxation training, have been reported, at least short-term, and with dedicated therapists and subjects, to lower blood pressure. 139 However, the longer-term effects remain uncertain, the methods are unsuitable for broadscale application, and these approaches have faded from general advocacy.…”
