Discussion

Crossover clinical trial shows resistance exercise impacts blood pressure in individuals with hypertension, suggesting intensity matters.

Systolic blood pressure increased after resistance exercises like squats, rows, and deadlifts compared to baseline.
Participants showed the highest systolic blood pressure values post-deadlift, although diastolic blood pressure showed no significant changes.
High-intensity resistance training led to lower diastolic blood pressure compared to the low-intensity protocol.
Findings indicate that resistance exercise increases systolic blood pressure, with varying effects based on exercise intensity.

Benavides-Roca et al. (2025) studied this question.
