Purpose: 12 week- brisk walking exercise intervention at 50%-70% intensity was carried out in the study to examine the mean reduction on systolic and diastolic blood pressures of middle-aged mild-hypertensive population in Asaba, Nigeria. Methodology: The study comprised of 42 male and female middle-aged (36-45years) individuals who recorded mild-hypertension. A control group-pre-test and post-test experimental design was used to randomly assign the individuals into treatment and control groups. Whereas, arithmetic mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data according to the difference in mean scores. Conclusion: In conclusion, 12-week brisk walking intervention showed a mean reduction on systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of middle-aged mild-hypertensive population. Precisely, the experiment indicated that those who did not partake in the exercise intervention (control group) showed an increase on SBP and a decrease on DBP and thereby indicating a relatively higher mean reduction of 12-week brisk-walking exercise on SBP of middle-aged mild-hypertensive population. Recommendations: The study recommended that 50% -70% intensity of 12-week brisk-walking exercise may likely present a therapeutic intervention for people with mild-hypertension.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of aroma massage applied to middle-aged women with hypertension. The research study had a nonequivalent control group, nonsynchronized design to investigate the effect on home blood pressure (BP), ambulatory BP, and sleep. The hypertensive patients were allocated into the aroma massage group (n=28), the placebo group (n=28), and the no-treatment control group (n=27). To evaluate the effects of aroma massage, the experimental group received a massage with essential oils prescribed by an aromatherapist once a week and body cream once a day. The placebo group received a massage using artificial fragrance oil once a week and body cream once a day. BP, pulse rate, sleep conditions, and 24-hour ambulatory BP were monitored before and after the experiment. There was a significant difference in home systolic blood pressure (SBP) (F=6.71,P=0.002) between groups after intervention. There was also a significant difference in SBP (F=13.34,P=0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (F=8.46,P=0.005) in the laboratory between aroma massage and placebo groups. In sleep quality, there was a significant difference between groups (F=6.75,P=0.002). In conclusion, aroma massage may help improve patient quality of life and maintain health as a nursing intervention in daily life.

Background Combined resistance and aerobic training (CT) is the most suitable form of exercise training to simultaneously improve cardiometabolic profile and functional capacity in middle-aged and older adults. Recreational sports (RS) emerge as an alternative to traditional exercises to improve these outcomes that could be used as a retention and continuity strategy, promoting health benefits associated with pleasure and satisfaction during the physical activity. Objectives The aim was to conduct a meta-analysis on the effects of RS and CT on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in middle-aged and older adults and to compare these exercise interventions to a non-exercising control group (CON). Data Sources A literature search was conducted using the databases at PubMed, COCHRANE and SciELO between July and August 2020. Study Eligibility Criteria Studies that included men and women aged 45 years, healthy or with values of baseline for SBP 130mmHg or DBP 80 mmHg or with type II diabetes, in which the participants performed RS or CT versus CON, and evaluated SBP, DBP and HbA1c. Study Appraisal and Synthesis Methods Two independent reviewers screened search results, performed data extraction, and assessed of methodological quality of studies. Random effects modeling was used to compare pre to postintervention changes in BP and HbA1c from RS and CT versus CON, and the effect size were calculated through the weighted mean difference (MD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Conclusions RS and CT are effective exercise interventions to improve blood pressure in middle-aged and older adults. Additionally, CT seems to be an excellent strategy to reduce HbA1c, and future studies are necessary to confirm the effectiveness of recreational sports to improve HbA1c.

Abstract Background: Physical activity has proven to be effective in improving blood pressure (BP), but research on the beneficial exercise volume for BP control is limited. We assessed the intervention effects of walking on BP in the Chinese Han occupational population with a sedentary lifestyle to explore the appropriate exercise volume needed for BP control.Methods: A total of 802 subjects were recruited from enterprises and institutions for our study. This study was designed as an intervention study for a baseline control trial. All participants received a 3-month open and prescription pedometer-assisted self-monitoring walking intervention. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess the association between physical activity and changes in systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) BP. We divided the effective step counts into five levels: 4000-<6000 (level 1), 6000-<8000 (level 2), 8000-<10000 (level 3), 10000-12000 (level 4), and >12000 (level 5) steps/day for statistical analysis to evaluate the exercise intervention efficiency.Results: Data of 688 participants who completed the study were analyzed. After 3 months, SBP and DBP decreased by 1.9 and 2.0 mmHg, respectively (P < 0.05). Taking level 5 (>12000 steps/day) as reference, SBP can be better controlled at levels 1-4: level 1 had the best effect (-6.05 mmHg, P=0.007), followed by level 2 (-3.54 mmHg, P=0.006), showing a significant dose-effect relationship between exercise and SBP. Furthermore, the effective step count of 6000-<8000 steps/day was better in controlling SBP in males (-4.26 mmHg, P = 0.014), while 4000-<6000 steps/day had a better effect on females (-6.86 mmHg, P = 0.037). The significant dose-effect relationship was only observed in the 36-50 age group. However, no significant dose-effect relationship between exercise and DBP.Conclusions: Brisk walking can effectively control BP in the Chinese Han occupational population with a sedentary lifestyle. There was a significant dose-effect relationship between exercise and SBP with differences in sex and age. Trial registration: ChiCTR-OOh-16010229.

This study was designed to measure changes in blood pressure (BP), urinary catecholamines and ventilatory functions of patients with mild essential hypertension after 10 weeks of Qigong (Shuxinpingxuegong). Fifty-eight patients volunteered to participate in this study and were randomly divided into either a Qigong group (n = 29), or a control group (n = 29). Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly in the Qigong group such that both became significantly lower after 10 weeks in the Qigong than in the control group. Also, there was a significant reduction of norepinephrine, metanephrine and epinephrine compared to baseline values in the Qigong group. The ventilatory functions, forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume per sec, were increased in the Qigong group but not the control. These results suggest that Qigong may stabilize the sympathetic nervous system is effective in modulating levels of urinary catecholamines and BP positively, and in improving ventilatory functions in mildly hypertensive middle-aged patients.

Around 7% of middle-aged adults have mild hypertension - a sustained diastolic blood pressure between 90 and 104mmHg.1 These people are at increased risk, for example of heart attack, stroke and heart failure, and so might benefit from life-long treatment with one or more drugs. But in mild hypertension the risk is relatively low and unwanted effects of drugs may outweigh the benefit from treatment.2
