DOI: 10.1097/hjh.0000000000001176
Abstract: Background: Aerobic exercise reduces blood pressure (BP) on average 5–7 mmHg among those with hypertension; limited evidence suggests similar or even greater BP benefits may result from isometric handgrip (IHG) resistance exercise. Method: We conducted a… read more here.
