Effect of exercise on functional capacity and body weight for people with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or cardiovascular disease: a systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease affect the activities of daily living at varying degree.
