Effect of home‐based isometric training on blood pressure in older adults with high normal <scp>BP</scp> or stage I hypertension: A randomized controlled trial
An 8-week home-based IHT and AET failed to reduce ambulatory SBP, while office SBP was reduced by 8/5 mmHg. Only IHT reduced office DBP by 3 mmHg. Thus, IHT and AET may be effective for lowering office BP in older adults with high normal to established hypertension.
