All seven types of exercise studied are beneficial for lowering blood pressure, but combined training (mixing strength and cardio) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) showed the strongest effects. Mind–body exercises such as yoga and tai chi followed, while aerobic exercise, isometric ...resistance training, and dynamic resistance training showed weaker effects.
More is not better. Moderate exercise volumes were best for reducing blood pressure. Overall, meeting recommendations for 150 min/week of moderate or 75 min/week of vigorous exercise maximizes blood pressure lowering benefits.
Benefits were u-shaped, increasing as exercise increased from low to moderate levels, but decreasing with very high volumes of exercise. The exact peak differed between exercise types, showing that different types of training have different optimal doses.
