“…Similarly, evening systolic and diastolic BP readings decreased by 2.1 and 1.8 mmHg, respectively. Our data are consistent with those of previous studies which applied similar exercise modalities and demonstrated an association between exercise and significantly decreased clinic BP readings in both Caucasian and Japanese hypertensive patients ( 10 - 12 , 17 ). The Ohasama study showed that an increase in the mean home systolic (10 mmHg) and diastolic (5 mmHg) BP measurements over 2 weeks was associated with a 31% and 20% increase in the risk of stroke and transient ischemic attacks, respectively ( 20 ).…”

“…The etiology of hypertension among Asians differs significantly from that in Caucasians owing to genetics ( 14 , 15 ) and lifestyles ( 16 ). To our knowledge, only one study has previously examined the effects of IHG training in untreated, hypertensive Japanese patients, and the study found that both brachial and central BP decreased significantly after 8 weeks of training ( 17 ). Although this result suggests that IHG training may lead to BP reduction in Asian subjects, more evidence of the beneficial effects of IHG training in this population is required.…”

Objective We aimed to examine the effects of isometric handgrip (IHG) training on home blood pressure (BP) levels in hypertensive Japanese patients undergoing treatment. Methods Fifty-three hypertensive patients (mean age, 61.7 years; 56.6% men) with a home systolic BP ! 135 mmHg and/or a home diastolic BP ! 85 mmHg were randomly assigned to either group A or B. As per the crossover design, group A performed 8 weeks of IHG training, followed by an equivalent training-free, control period, while the reverse protocol was performed by group B. The baseline characteristics were similar between both groups. The individualized daily IHG training comprised four sets of 2-min isometric contractions at 30% of the individual's maximum voluntary contraction capacity, including 1 min of rest between sets, for ! 3 days/week. The outcome measure was morning and evening home BP readings taken over the last 2 weeks of the training and control periods. Results A combined data analysis for both groups showed that IHG training was significantly associated with the lowering of both systolic and diastolic BP in the morning (137.9±9.3 vs. 135.3±9.5 mmHg, p=0.007 and 83.0±9.5 vs. 81.2±9.3 mmHg, p<0.001, respectively) and evening (130.0±10.7 vs. 127.6±10.1 mmHg, p= 0.003 and 75.8±10.4 vs. 73.8±9.2 mmHg, p<0.001, respectively), while no significant change was observed after the control period. A larger increase in the maximum grip strength due to IHG training was associated with greater BP reductions. Conclusion An 8-week period of IHG training significantly lowered both the morning and evening home BP in hypertensive Japanese patients undergoing treatment.

Abstract. Background: Hypertension has a significant impact on public health and has become a major health care burden worldwide. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be given to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients is Isometric Handgrip Exercise exercise therapy. This therapy has been shown to reduce blood pressure which is almost the same as intense aerobic exercise. This literature review aims to analyze the effects of the application of Isometric Handgrip Exercise in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Method: This research explores quantitative evidence published in electronic databases such as Pubmed, and Google Scholar. Using a search strategy, we identified 16 articles that were potentially and relevant to the research objectives, and 4 articles were included in the final analysis. Results: We could see a significant effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressure reduction in the group given the Isometric Handgrip Exercise intervention compared with the control group. Conclusion: Research results from several articles in this review literature show that Isometric Handgrip Exercise exercises are proven to be effective in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

“…European and American medical guidelines also recommend lifestyle changes as a non-drug therapy to increase physical activity through isometric grip exercise therapy (Okamoto et al, 2020). The American Heart Association (AHA) classifies Isometric Handgrip Exercise therapy as a potential therapy to lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients (Silva et al, 2018).…”

This study aims to identify the effect of isometric handgrip exercise on changes in blood pressure in people with hypertension. Quasi experimental research design with two group pretest postest research design on 16 respondents. The results showed that there were changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after the isometric handgrip exercise intervention (t = 8,279, p = 0,000), (t = 6,154, p = 0,000). In conclusion, there was a difference between the decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the isometric handgrip exercise intervention group.
