Muscle soothes mind: Exercise training can lower stress-related blood pressure responses SciReports CRCHUM stress wellbeing exercise bloodpressure
By Hugo Francisco de SouzaJul 11 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers performed a meta-analysis to elucidate the effects of exercise training on stress-related blood pressure reactivity. Their results show that regular aerobic exercise helps lower systolic BP responses to adult stressors, especially in hypertensive individuals.
The literature, however, remains devoid of work on non-aerobic exercise and the effects of physical fitness on BP responses to stressors. The present work aims to fill these knowledge gaps using a meta-analytic approach to investigate if exercise training can have effects similar to acute exercise.
The most prescribed exercise mode was aerobic training, with 21 out of the 23 studies referencing the same. This was followed by resistance training , yoga , and isometric handgrip training . The almost ubiquitous take-home of all studies was that exercise is good – 10 studies found significant reductions in diastolic BP , nine in systolic BP , and one in mean BP reactivity. Only one paper found a negative association between DBP and yoga.
This may be an indication that physical exercise, more than reducing the stress response, lowers resting BP and given the same magnitude of stress response, lowers peak BP.” Unlike previous work, the current research did not find strong associations between age-class, and sex to the benefits of exercise. While younger groups showed no effects compared to the moderate impact seen in older groups, differences between more senior age classes were insignificant. This study also found more significant improvements in female stress response BP post-exercise, compared to previous literature, which suggested males benefitted more.
