Abstract
In brief Exercise can be an effective form of therapy for hypertension, recent research has shown. This article reviews the possible mechanisms by which exercise lowers blood pressure and gives physicians the necessary information to counsel hypertensive patients who want to start an exercise program. Some researchers are exploring the use of exercise testing to predict the onset of hypertension.
