- Abstract
Aerobic exercise is an exercise that uses large muscle groups to contract at a light to moderate intensity for long periods. Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise is more effective at managing blood pressure compared to heavy and light-intensity aerobics. Regular exercise can lead to decreased autonomic nervous system activity and decreased systemic vascular resistance, which is most likely involved in the exercise-induced reduction in blood pressure. This review aimed to determine the effect of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on blood pressure in patients with hypertension. It was analyzed the related literature obtained from the search results in the database of medical journals, PubMed-MEDLINE, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Twenty articles in English articles were included, published in 2011-2021. There was a difference in results of 17 articles that stated a significant decrease in blood pressure after doing moderate-intensity aerobic exercise duration of 30 minutes, 3 times a week for 8-12 weeks of treadmill exercise. Three other articles stated that they did not find a change in blood pressure after doing aerobic exercise duration of 30 minutes, 2 times a week for less than 8 weeks. It can be concluded that these results depend on the duration, frequency, and type of aerobic exercise performed.
