Article Synopsis
- * Aerobic and strength training are beneficial for individuals with long COVID, but more structured educational approaches are needed to address their specific challenges and treatment needs.
- * The review emphasizes the importance of individualized exercise programs and addresses concerns like postexertional malaise and breathing pattern disorders for effective rehabilitation in long COVID patients.
Rationale: There is conflicting evidence whether aerobic exercise training (AET) reduces pulse wave velocity (PWV) in adults with and without long-term conditions (LTCs).
Objective: To explore whether PWV improves with AET in adults with and without LTC, to quantify the magnitude of any effect and understand the influence of the exercise prescription.
Data Sources: CENTRAL, MEDLINE and EMBASE were among the databases searched.
An exaggerated blood pressure (BP) response to maximal exercise is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events and mortality. It is unclear whether treating BP to guideline recommended levels could normalize the rise in BP during exercise, which is mediated by the metaboreflex. We aimed to assess the BP response to incremental exercise testing and metaboreflex activation in treated-controlled hypertension (n=16), treated-uncontrolled hypertension (n=16), and untreated hypertension (n=11) and 16 control participants with normal BP (n=16).
