HYPERTENSION
In conclusion, our pilot trial provides evidence supporting the feasibility and efficacy of regular aerobic exercise as a non-pharmacological approach to reduce resting blood pressure and associated risk factors in sedentary older adults with hypertension in Saudi Arabia. It is essential to conduct further research on a national scale to enhance the generalizability of these findings. Future investigations should incorporate a more comprehensive statistical analysis, larger sample sizes, and explore alternative exercise modalities tailored specifically to this population. Additionally, long-term studies are necessary to establish the sustained impact of regular aerobic exercise on resting blood pressure. These findings significantly impact the development of targeted exercise interventions to reduce hypertension and improve cardiovascular health among sedentary older adults, particularly in nursing homes and in the post-COVID era.
