Effects of Exercise on Hypertension

The effects of exercise on hypertension mainly include short-term effects and long-term effects.

1. Short-term effects

If intense exercise is carried out in a short period of time, sympathetic nerve excitation can easily lead to increased blood pressure. When blood pressure rises instantaneously, some acute complications may occur, such as cerebral infarction, acute myocardial infarction, etc.

2. Long-term effects

If moderate intensity exercise is carried out according to one's own conditions for a long time, it can usually improve vascular function, control weight and enhance myocardial function, etc., which helps to maintain stable blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
