Journal Article
Can Walking Lower Blood Pressure in Patients With Hypertension?
2022
Overview
The authors of this Cochrane review evaluated studies of walking compared with no physical activity to lower blood pressure.1 This review included 73 randomized controlled trials and 5,763 participants. The primary outcome was change in systolic blood pressure; secondary outcomes included changes in diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. The findings of this review suggest that a walking regimen—three to five times a week at a moderate intensity for 20 to 40 minutes per session, with at least 150 total minutes per week for approximately three months—can lower systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate in adult men and women with or without hypertension.
