Various types of exercise present a promising strategy for lowering BP in both hypertensive and normotensive individuals, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.<br> <strong>Objectives. </strong>This study aimed to assess the impact of aerobic, resistance, and combined training on BP regulation in patients with chronic diseases.<br> <strong>Methods.</strong> A comprehensive search was conducted using relevant keywords across SCOPUS, PubMed, the Cochrane Central Database, and Google Scholar. Eighteen articles meeting predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for review. The search covered papers published from January 1, 1995, through May 31, 2024.<br> <strong>Results.</strong> The analysis revealed that aerobic exercise performed three times per week for 10 weeks led to significant reductions in systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure in obese patients with cardiovascular disease. Aerobic exercise showed a meaningful alteration in BP by reducing systemic vascular resistance in patients with metabolic syndrome. Moreover, aerobic and resistance training were more effective in lowering mean arterial pressure in individuals with pre- and stage-1 hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Combined aerobic and resistance training, performed three times per week for 12 weeks, led to a significant reduction in both SBP and DBP. Conclusion. These findings highlight the crucial role of exercise therapy as a non-pharmacological approach to managing BP and reducing cardiovascular risk factors.</div> Physical Activity, Cardiovascular Health, Health Outcomes, Exercise Prescription 0 0 http://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-11-2250-8&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Nouf H.
