Review: aerobic exercise reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adults.

S t u d y s e l e c t i o n Studies published in English were included if they were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing interventions that included aerobic exercise (treatment group) with interventions without aerobic exercise (control group), lasted ≥ 2 weeks, reported changes in blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, or both) from baseline to follow-up with the corresponding variances or data to estimate them, and participants were ≥ 18 years of age. All frequencies, intensities, and types of aerobic exercise were considered.
