Exercise and Blood Pressure
Regular aerobic exercise has a variety of effects that protect against heart disease and diseases of the blood vessels, including high BP. There is also significant research showing that exercise creates statistically relevant decreases in BP. These results emphasise why lifestyle changes, including regular exercise, are important first steps in preventing and treating hypertension.
Do you have high blood pressure?
Our Wollongong Exercise Physiology Clinic has been designed purely for the improvement of your health and wellbeing and we now have a dedicated telehealth room for those of you who can not get to us.
How does exercise help blood pressure?
On average, exercise reduces blood pressure by about 6–7 mmHg. Scientific studies with large numbers of volunteers have shown that, if systolic BP is reduced by 5 mmHg, deaths from strokes decrease by 14% and deaths from coronary heart disease (i.e. blocking of the blood vessels that supply the heart) decrease by 9%.
