Improving cardiovascular autonomic function in postmenopausal women with hypertension: a pilot study of supervised versus home-based aerobic exercise
Supervised intensive aerobic exercise produced clear within-group gains in VO₂ max, METs, and SDNN, and it reduced 24-hour SBP variability relative to home-based walking. Although between-group differences for the primary fitness and autonomic outcomes were not statistically significant in this pilot, the pattern suggests that a supervised, tailored program may confer additional clinical benefit and merits evaluation in a larger trial.
