Generally unable to hold ground against regular forces, it is common for militias to be used for aiding regular troops by skirmishing ...
The meta-analysis suggests that progressive resistance exercise has modest reductions in resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It is important to note that even small reductions in blood pressure have a beneficial effect in reducing cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality (Kelley and Kelley 2000).
'Dynamic' exercises such as steady running, tend to produce a lowering of the diastolic blood pressure during exercise, due to the improved blood flow. Conversely, static exercise (such as weight-lifting) can cause the systolic pressure to rise significantly (during the exercise).
