“…Chronic aerobic exercise in hypertensive patients may lead to a reduction in left ventricular mass [16], although results are not always conclusive. Decreased oxidative stress and inflammation levels, as well as an improved autonomic function, have been described as key mechanisms that contribute to the physiological benefits obtained with exercise.…”

High blood pressure (HBP) does not cause discomfort but still, you need to take care of and treat it. Otherwise, over time, it can damage the heart, kidneys, brain, and eyes. Lifestyle changes are essential in HBP, and physical activity is a parameter of great influence. In order to achieve the benefits derived from physical activity, it must be adequately prescribed, an aspect that will be developed in this chapter. The first section addresses the physiopathology of hypertension, with special interest in the pathological mechanisms that may induce hypertension, devices for monitoring blood pressure (BP), and an overview of the particularities that present hypertension in the presence of other pathologies and over the life span. Second section focuses on exercise prescription for hypertensive people, exploring each type of exercise that has been proved to be effective. We discuss for each type of exercise, the benefits, mechanisms involved in these benefits, the appropriate dose of exercise, and other methodological considerations including risk management issues. We conclude with a clinical case study. A detailed exercise training program will be developed for this particular case study in order to try to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

“…Research has shown that individuals who lose weight through exercise and nutritional interventions demonstrate significant reductions in blood pressure, as well as improvements in the pathophysiologic cascade associated with the obesity-HTN phenotype, including improved arterial structure and function [19,24 & ,53-56]. In individuals in the early stages of HTN, exercise training in and of itself, after controlling for baseline body weight and weight loss following an intervention, reduced the risk of developing left ventricular hypertrophy [55]. Exercise training also significantly reduces left ventricular mass in those with HTN where cardiac structural abnormalities have already developed [55].…”

Also, increased physical activity and exercise is particularly important for long-term weight maintenance [57].…”

Background: Increase in blood pressure (BP) is thought to be an unavoidable consequence of ageing but in secluded communities and in rural areas this is not the case. Aims: The present study aims to examine blood pressure response with age across place of residence and sex; the prevalence of hypertension in relation to place of residence and sex; and to find out the relative importance of biological and behavioural factors as risk factors for hypertension among the Hmar adults (17 to 70 years of age) of Manipur, Northeast India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional sample was collected on 1207Hmars adults residing in rural and urban settings in Manipur, Northeast India. Demographic data, blood pressure, height, weight and behavioural factors were collected.Results: Blood pressure significantly increases with an increasing age and this trend is more pronounced in urban settings compared to rural settings. The overall prevalence of hypertension in the present study is about 21 per cent. Urban Hmar males, rural and urban Hmar females who are ≥ 45 years of age show significantly higher risk of developing hypertension compared to their counterparts who are < 45 years of age, but the same is not observed in Hmar males from rural areas. Males show significantly higher odds of developing hypertension compared to females in both the settings. Obesity is the strongest predictor of hypertension in both the place of residence and sexes. Discussion and Conclusion:The present study confirms that population blood pressure does not show a marked increase with increasing age in traditional/rural areas which is clearly perceptible in Hmar men. It also strengthen the case that urban residence, men, increasing age and overweight and/or obese significantly increases the odds of developing hypertension.
