The Role of Exercise in Patients with Obesity and Hypertension.
Shelley Elizabeth KeatingJeff S CoombesMichael StowasserTom G BaileyPublished in: Current hypertension reports (2020)
No reviews have included patients classified with both obesity and hypertension and there is a paucity of randomised controlled trials examining the benefits of exercise in this population. Moreover, just one of 19 reviews examining the role of exercise on blood pressure included studies that met pre-defined inclusion criterion for hypertension, although seven conducted subgroup analyses stratified by mean baseline blood pressure. These demonstrated significantly larger reductions in blood pressure in hypertensive than pre-hypertensive and normotensive samples. There is a significant research-practice gap for understanding and influencing the role of exercise for patients with obesity and hypertension. This review provides recommendations for future research and consensus-based recommendations that promote exercise as a principle therapy for patients with obesity and hypertension.
