A new American study sought to determine if aerobic exercise could improve the central arteries of patients with hypertension. It found out that hypertensive adults who performed acute aerobic exercises experienced stiffer aortas and greater differences between their systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels, leading to an improved supply of blood to the brain.
The researchers received support from Syracuse University. They released their findings in the Journal of Hypertension.
The study concluded that patients with hypertension could benefit from cardiovascular exercise in much the same way as healthy people do.
