Effects of isometric exercise on hypertension Goto, Masahiro hypertension isometric fitness Hypertension is a serious problem in modern society. Between the ages of 60 and 74, the prevalence of hypertension is almost double its age-adjusted prevalence among people under 60 years old. Physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness are important influences on blood pressure. Most physical activity interventions have utilized aerobic exercise, but recent studies suggest that isometric exercise is safe and has favorable effects on physical fitness, hypertension, and the psychological status. Isometric exercise in hypertensive populations appears to maintain the reductions in blood pressure achieved by endurance training, and may even elicit further reductions in blood pressure. However, as I am indicating, resistance training is not the only recommended approach to lower blood pressure, but should play a prominent role in any program designed to do so. departmental bulletin paper 2008-03-31 application/pdf AINO JOURNAL 1 6 45 48 1348480X https://aino.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/331/files/KJ00005223107.pdf https://aino.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/331 eng
