No effect of either heat therapy or aerobic exercise training on blood pressure in adults with untreated hypertension: a randomized clinical trial

Year: 2025

Type: article

Study design: Clinical Trial

Abstract: Exercise training represents a crucial lifestyle intervention for improving blood pressure, yet many adults do not meet recommendations for physical activity. Heat therapy was tested against aerobic exercise training as a potential alternative lifestyle intervention. Neither heat therapy nor exercise training was effective for the treatment of hypertension.
