- Hypertension (HTN) is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases, and physical exercise can help reduce its incidence and severity, with cardiac rehabilitation being essential for patients.
- A study compared two types of cardiac rehabilitation for hypertensive patients: one that was partly supervised at home and another that was fully supervised in rehab centers, assessing various physical and health parameters before and after the interventions.
- Results showed both groups improved their fitness levels, with the fully supervised group achieving greater enhancements in distance walked and oxygen consumption, indicating that supervised exercise is more effective for improving physical fitness among hypertensive individuals.
