Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how resistance training (RT) impacts blood pressure in older adults with hypertension, showing that it effectively lowers systolic blood pressure after 12 weeks of training.
- - Participants were split into RT and control groups; while RT significantly improved systolic blood pressure, individual responses varied, with some showing notable changes and others not.
- - Functional performance improved in the RT group, but there were no significant changes in biochemical risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as triglycerides and glucose levels.
