physical activity and blood pressure  

Définition

  • Blood pressure changes in response to physical activity include immediate responses during the activity, changes that last for a few hours after a bout of sustained aerobic exercise, and longer-term changes that are observed beginning a few weeks after sedentary individuals start a regular exercise training program. Regular physical activity is now recommended by hypertension experts and public health authorities for preventing the development of hypertension and for helping to reduce elevated blood pressure in individuals who have already been diagnosed with mild to moderate levels of hypertension.
