Summary

Regular exercise is recommended as an adjuvant treatment in hypertensive subjects by both European and American guidelines. Crucially, however, there are no precise recommendations on the type of physical exercise and how it should be instituted A relatively short period (5 months) of regular aerobic interval training (AIT), significantly decreased blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, and most applanation tonometry indexes in hypertensive subjects also undertaking pharmacological treatment in our study.
