Although largely effective, anti-hypertensive medication has a number of substantial limitations including adverse side effects, considerable economic strain and poor adherence rates. Additionally, current exercise guidance is unlikely to benefit long-term cardiovascular risk due to poor global adherence. Therefore, establishing novel lifestyle approaches to the management of hypertension is pivotal.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9990\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9990\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9990\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/cdc-XdErxxR6Xog-unsplash-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/cdc-XdErxxR6Xog-unsplash-scaled.jpeg 1701w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/cdc-XdErxxR6Xog-unsplash-199x300.jpeg 199w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/cdc-XdErxxR6Xog-unsplash-768x1156.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/cdc-XdErxxR6Xog-unsplash-1020x1536.jpeg 1020w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/cdc-XdErxxR6Xog-unsplash-1361x2048.jpeg 1361w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/cdc-XdErxxR6Xog-unsplash-640x963.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9990\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@cdc?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">CDC<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/blood-pressure?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In recent years, isometric exercise training (IET) and high intensity interval training (HIIT) have emerged as convenient and highly time-efficient modes of exercise, which can produce clinically significant reductions in resting clinic and ambulatory blood pressure (BP). Thus, given the efficacy and potential for greater adoption and adherence, these novel exercise modes may have significant clinical utility in the control of arterial BP.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, no research to date has attempted to compare the anti-hypertensive efficacy of these two distinct exercise modes. Therefore, we aimed to perform independent and comparative meta-analyses to measure the efficacy of IET versus HIIT in the management of BP.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">How did the study go about this?<\/span><br \/>\nWe performed a comprehensive systematic search of all trials that have measured the effects of an IET or HIIT intervention on resting BP and heart rate. All available data was extracted, and these trials were assessed for quality and bias via the TESTEX tool. We then ran individual meta-analyses on IET and HIIT, and then statistically compared them both. We also ran additional analyses to assess for any effects of moderators such as intervention duration, study quality, medication status and hypertensive diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">What did the study find?<\/span><br \/>\nThe systematic search identified 38 studies (18 IET and 20 HIIT), including a total of 1583 (672 IET and 911 HIIT) participants. While both modes are effective, we found that IET is significantly more effective at reducing resting BP compared to HIIT. Specifically, systolic and diastolic BP was reduced by 8.50mmHg and 4.07mmHg, respectively, following IET, and 2.86mmHg and 2.48mmHg, respectively, following HIIT. However, HIIT produced significantly greater reductions in resting heart rate (3.17bpm vs 1.34bpm). Intervention duration, medication status and hypertension diagnosis had no effect on the results.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9989\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9989\" style=\"width: 627px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9989\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/bjsports-2021-104642-F2.large_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"627\" height=\"1115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/bjsports-2021-104642-F2.large_.jpg 1012w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/bjsports-2021-104642-F2.large_-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/bjsports-2021-104642-F2.large_-768x1366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/bjsports-2021-104642-F2.large_-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2021\/12\/bjsports-2021-104642-F2.large_-640x1138.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9989\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Random-effects meta-analysis of the effects of IET versus HIIT in the reduction of SBP.

While still highly effective in reducing resting BP, HIIT may achieve wider physiological benefits than IET, with greater reductions in resting heart rate. Therefore, the clinical implementation of IET for BP control should be considered, with HIIT likely preferred for the general maintenance of good health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Authors and Affiliations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol id=\"contrib-group-1\" class=\"contributor-list\">\n<li id=\"contrib-1\" class=\"contributor\"><span class=\"name\">Jamie Edwards<\/span><a id=\"xref-aff-1-1\" class=\"xref-aff\" href=\"https:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2021\/12\/14\/bjsports-2021-104642?hwshib2=authn%3A1640779228%3A20211228%253A6b410df9-0a92-49c4-a70b-deb56f328391%3A0%3A0%3A0%3Azlsre4fhzev3Flv%2B09P1Ng%3D%3D#aff-1\">1<\/a>,<\/li>\n<li id=\"contrib-2\" class=\"contributor\"><span class=\"name\">Anthony De Caux<\/span><a id=\"xref-aff-1-2\" class=\"xref-aff\" href=\"https:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2021\/12\/14\/bjsports-2021-104642?hwshib2=authn%3A1640779228%3A20211228%253A6b410df9-0a92-49c4-a70b-deb56f328391%3A0%3A0%3A0%3Azlsre4fhzev3Flv%2B09P1Ng%3D%3D#aff-1\">1<\/a>,<\/li>\n<li id=\"contrib-3\" class=\"contributor\"><span class=\"name\">James Donaldson<\/span><a id=\"xref-aff-1-3\" class=\"xref-aff\" href=\"https:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2021\/12\/14\/bjsports-2021-104642?hwshib2=authn%3A1640779228%3A20211228%253A6b410df9-0a92-49c4-a70b-deb56f328391%3A0%3A0%3A0%3Azlsre4fhzev3Flv%2B09P1Ng%3D%3D#aff-1\">1<\/a><span class=\"xref-sep\">,<\/span><a id=\"xref-aff-2-1\" class=\"xref-aff\" href=\"https:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2021\/12\/14\/bjsports-2021-104642?hwshib2=authn%3A1640779228%3A20211228%253A6b410df9-0a92-49c4-a70b-deb56f328391%3A0%3A0%3A0%3Azlsre4fhzev3Flv%2B09P1Ng%3D%3D#aff-2\">2<\/a>,<\/li>\n<li id=\"contrib-4\" class=\"contributor\"><span class=\"name\">Jonathan Wiles<\/span><a id=\"xref-aff-1-4\" class=\"xref-aff\" href=\"https:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2021\/12\/14\/bjsports-2021-104642?hwshib2=authn%3A1640779228%3A20211228%253A6b410df9-0a92-49c4-a70b-deb56f328391%3A0%3A0%3A0%3Azlsre4fhzev3Flv%2B09P1Ng%3D%3D#aff-1\">1<\/a>,<\/li>\n<li id=\"contrib-5\" class=\"last\"><span class=\"name\">Jamie O&#8217;Driscoll<\/span><a id=\"xref-aff-1-5\" class=\"xref-aff\" href=\"https:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2021\/12\/14\/bjsports-2021-104642?hwshib2=authn%3A1640779228%3A20211228%253A6b410df9-0a92-49c4-a70b-deb56f328391%3A0%3A0%3A0%3Azlsre4fhzev3Flv%2B09P1Ng%3D%3D#aff-1\">1<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"toggle-group\">\n<ol class=\"affiliation-list\">\n<li class=\"aff\"><a id=\"aff-1\" name=\"aff-1\"><\/a><br \/>\n<address><span class=\"institution\">School of Psychology and Life Sciences<\/span>,\u00a0<span class=\"institution\">Canterbury Christ Church University<\/span>,\u00a0<span class=\"addr-line\">Kent<\/span>, UK<\/address>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"aff\"><a id=\"aff-2\" name=\"aff-2\"><\/a><br \/>\n<address><span class=\"institution\">Department of Sport Science<\/span>,\u00a0<span class=\"institution\">Nottingham Trent University<\/span>,\u00a0<span class=\"addr-line\">Nottingham<\/span>, UK<\/address>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part of the BJSM #KnowledgeTranslation blog series Original paper: Isometric exercise versus high-intensity interval training for the management of blood pressure: a systematic review and meta-analysis https:\/\/bjsm.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2021\/12\/14\/bjsports-2021-104642\u00a0 Why is this study important?
