“…In a study, PA intervention based on stages of change on 10 women with HTN, walking increased from pre-to post-intervention (12). Meanwhile, a quasi-experimental study by Chiang et al based on stages of change, showed that a walking program had no significant effect upon participants' BP or walking endurance (13).…”
Background: Adherence to regular physical activity (PA) remains a challenge for hypertensive (HTN) patients. The present study was aimed at assessing the effectiveness of theory-based training intervention on PA and blood pressure in HTN patients.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
