"Study Identifies 2 Exercises as Most Effective for Lowering Blood Pressure"
A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that isometric exercises, such as wall squats and planks, may be the most effective for lowering blood pressure. The research found that isometric exercise led to the greatest reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to aerobic exercise, dynamic resistance training, high-intensity interval training, and a combination of the latter two. The study's findings may influence future guidelines on exercise for blood pressure management, and it is recommended to consult a doctor before starting any new exercise program.
