Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 American College of Sports Medicine Volume 36(3) March 2004 pp 533-553 Exercise and Hypertension Exercise remains a cornerstone therapy for the primary prevention, treatment, and control of HTN. The optimal training FITT needs to be more precisely defined in order to optimize the BP-lowering capacities of exercise, particularly in children, women, older adults, and certain ethnic groups. Based upon the current evidence, the following exercise prescription is recommended for those with high BP: Frequency: on most, preferably all, days of the week Intensity: moderate intensity (40–<60% of VO2R) Time: >=30 min of continuous or accumulated physical activity per day Type: primarily endurance physical activity supplemented by resistance exercise.
