Many studies vouch for aerobic or cardio exercises for lowering blood pressure.
Recent studies show another physical activity which is the best to prevent or lower hypertension and blood pressure.
According to a study, exercises that engage muscles without movement may be the best to lower blood pressure.
These exercises can be wall squats and planks.
This study was published on July, 2023, in the British Study of Sports Medicine.
As per the Mayo Clinic, this training is referred to as isometric or static exercise.
From a review of 270 trials with 15,827 participants, it was found that isometric exercises helped significantly.
Wall squats were most effective in reducing systolic pressure, running was helpful in reducing diastolic pressure.
Isometric exercise was the best in lowering both the pressure elements.
