Effect of High-Intensity Interval Training on Exercise Capacity, Blood Pressure, and Autonomic Responses in Patients With Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Despite the well-known positive effects of exercise in hypertensive patients, the best mode of exercise is still under discussion.

Objective

A systematic review of the literature, synthesizing data on the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on peak oxygen consumption (VO₂ peak), blood pressure (BP), cardiac autonomic modulation, and resting heart rate (HR) in patients with hypertension.

Data sources

MEDLINE (via PubMed), CENTRAL, PEDro database, and SciELO (from the earliest date available to December 31, 2020).

Study selection

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effects of HIIT in hypertensive patients.

Study design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Level of evidence

Level 2.
