Design Systematic review and network meta-analysis. Data sources PubMed (Medline), the Cochrane library and Web of Science were systematically searched. Eligibility criteria Randomised controlled trials published between 1990 and February 2023. All relevant work reporting reductions in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) following an exercise intervention of ≥2 weeks, with an eligible non-intervention control group, were included. Results 270 randomised controlled trials were ultimately included in the final analysis, with a pooled sample size of 15 827 participants. Pairwise analyses demonstrated significant reductions in resting SBP and DBP following aerobic exercise training (−4.49/–2.53 mm Hg, p<0.001), dynamic resistance training (–4.55/–3.04 mm Hg, p<0.001), combined training (–6.04/–2.54 mm Hg, p<0.001), high-intensity interval training (–4.08/–2.50 mm Hg, p<0.001) and isometric exercise training (–8.24/–4.00 mm Hg, p<0.001). As shown in the network meta-analysis, the rank order of effectiveness based on the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values for SBP were isometric exercise training (SUCRA: 98.3%), combined training (75.7%), dynamic resistance training (46.1%), aerobic exercise training (40.5%) and high-intensity interval training (39.4%). Secondary network meta-analyses revealed isometric wall squat and running as the most effective submodes for reducing SBP (90.4%) and DBP (91.3%), respectively. Conclusion Various exercise training modes improve resting blood pressure, particularly isometric exercise. The results of this analysis should inform future exercise guideline recommendations for the prevention and treatment of arterial hypertension." /> <meta name="DC.Contributor" content="Jamie J Edwards" /> <meta name="DC.Contributor" content="Algis H P Deenmamode" /> <meta name="DC.Contributor" content="Megan Griffiths" /> <meta name="DC.Contributor" content="Oliver Arnold" /> <meta name="DC.Contributor" content="Nicola J Cooper" /> <meta name="DC.Contributor" content="Jonathan D Wiles" /> <meta name="DC.Contributor" content="Jamie M O'Driscoll" /> <meta name="article:published_time" content="2023-10-01" /> <meta name="article:section" content="Systematic review" /> <meta name="citation_title" content="Exercise training and resting blood pressure: a large-scale pairwise and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials" /> <meta name="citation_abstract" lang="en" content="<h3>Objective</h3> <p>To perform a large-scale pairwise and network meta-analysis on the effects of all relevant exercise training modes on resting blood pressure to establish optimal antihypertensive exercise prescription practices.</p><h3>Design</h3> <p>Systematic review and network meta-analysis.</p><h3>Data sources</h3> <p>PubMed (Medline), the Cochrane library and Web of Science were systematically searched.</p><h3>Eligibility criteria</h3> <p>Randomised controlled trials published between 1990 and February 2023.

Pairwise analyses demonstrated significant reductions in resting SBP and DBP following aerobic exercise training (−4.49/–2.53 mm Hg, p<0.001), dynamic resistance training (–4.55/–3.04 mm Hg, p<0.001), combined training (–6.04/–2.54 mm Hg, p<0.001), high-intensity interval training (–4.08/–2.50 mm Hg, p<0.001) and isometric exercise training (–8.24/–4.00 mm Hg, p<0.001). As shown in the network meta-analysis, the rank order of effectiveness based on the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values for SBP were isometric exercise training (SUCRA: 98.3%), combined training (75.7%), dynamic resistance training (46.1%), aerobic exercise training (40.5%) and high-intensity interval training (39.4%).

A comprehensive electronic database search strategy was constructed to identify RCTs reporting the effects of an exercise training intervention on resting blood pressure. The systematic search was performed in PubMed (Medline), the Cochrane library and Web of Science using a combination of relevant medical subject heading (MeSH) terms and text words including exercise, physical activity, blood pressure and hypertension, with the Boolean search terms ‘OR’ and ‘AND’ (<a id="xref-supplementary-material-1-1" class="xref-supplementary-material" href="#DC1">online supplemental appendix A</a>). No search filters or limits were applied. Separately, the reference lists of previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses were hand searched for additional reports not identified in the initial search.

Studies were initially screened by title and abstract, and subsequently by full text if they met the predetermined inclusion criteria. Any inconsistency and disagreements were discussed by the researchers and a consensus was reached with the opinion of a fourth researcher (JE), if necessary. Following study recruitment, the respective data of all included studies were extracted via Microsoft Excel. A third reviewer (MG) independently assessed and verified all data extraction. Baseline and postintervention mean (SD) SBP and DBP data were initially extracted owing to the common absence of change data being reported in exercise training and blood pressure RCTs. As required for NMAs, we acquired mean change from the baseline and postintervention values. Following the <em>Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions</em> (Chapter 6),<a id="xref-ref-33-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-33">33</a> we aimed to calculate SD change from standard errors, 95% CIs, p values or t statistics where available. When studies did not report any such data, SD change was calculated using a correlation coefficient of 0.8 as previously tested and validated in a similar dataset.<a id="xref-ref-22-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-22">22</a> </p><p id="p-19">Following the participants, interventions, comparators, outcomes PICO) framework, the population included adult humans with no predetermined limitations on health or disease state in representation of the general population, which ensured we did not unnecessarily exclude any potentially valuable data. Considering the intervention, comparator and outcome of this work, trials were determined eligible if they were appropriately randomised, and reported pre- and postintervention SBP and/or DBP in both the exercise and non-intervention control group. To minimise confounding, any considerable dietary, counselling or exercise influence in the non-intervention control group resulted in exclusion. Similarly, studies containing concurrent co-interventions to exercise (such as supplementation or medication changes) were excluded. Only trials published in peer-reviewed journals were considered and thus dissertation theses were not eligible. Studies that might appear eligible but were excluded are available on request from the corresponding author (with the reason for exclusion).</p><p id="p-20">For consistency, the exercise protocol/intensity of each included paper was screened against the Exercise Prescription in Everyday Practice and Rehabilitative Training (EXPERT) tool<a id="xref-ref-34-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-34">34</a> to be defined and categorised. All protocols were then stratified into one of the following primary exercise mode categories: ‘aerobic exercise training’ (AET), ‘dynamic resistance training’ (RT), ‘combined training’ (CT), ‘high-intensity interval training’ (HIIT) and ’isometric exercise training’ (IET). Each category was then further explored for appropriate subgroups, allowing for the analysis of walking, running and cycling as AET subgroups, sprint interval training (SIT) and aerobic interval training (AIT) as HIIT subgroups, and isometric handgrip (IHG), isometric leg extension (ILE) and isometric wall squat (IWS) as IET subgroups. IET programmes commonly employ protocols of 4×2 min contractions, separated by 1–4 min rest intervals, performed three times a week. IHG is often prescribed at 30% maximum voluntary contraction, while IWS and ILE protocols are typically performed at 95% of the peak heart rate achieved during a laboratory-based maximal incremental isometric exercise test. The IWS may also be prescribed using a self-selected wall squat, with a knee joint angle that would elicit a rate of perceived exertion (RPE) of 3.5–4.5/10 for bout 1; RPE 5–6/10 for bout 2; RPE of 6.5–7.5/10 for bout 3 and RPE of 8–9/10 for bout 4. This review defines HIIT as ‘episodic short bouts of high-intensity exercise separated by short periods of recovery at a lower intensity’.<a id="xref-ref-35-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-35">35</a> As subgroups of HIIT, SIT was defined as an ‘all-out’ maximal, low-volume protocol, whereas aerobic interval training AIT consisted of 4×4 min protocols of a lower intensity.</p><p id="p-21">For baseline blood pressure stratified analyses, all included studies were categorised as normotension, prehypertension or hypertension based on the baseline SBP and DBP of both the intervention and control group.

As previously demonstrated in such large-scale reviews,<a id="xref-ref-22-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-22">22</a> a random 10% sample of trials from each exercise mode was selected for risk of bias assessment. Two reviewers (AD and JE) independently scored all selected articles. Any disputes in quality analyses were resolved by consensus.</p></div><div id="sec-14" class="subsection"><h3>Statistical analysis</h3><p id="p-23">The pairwise meta-analyses were performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis, version 3 (Biostat, Englewood, New Jersey, USA). A pooled analysis was separately performed for each of the primary (AET, RT, CT, HIIT, IET) and secondary (walking, cycling, running, SIT, AIT, IHG, IWS and ILE) exercise mode groups to establish the weighted mean difference (WMD) in SBP and DBP between the exercise group and the non-intervention controls. Parallel pooled analyses were also performed in only those studies free from any cardiovascular or other disease. Each primary exercise mode group was then further dichotomised by categorisation of baseline blood pressure and separately analysed. Meta-regression analyses were performed to ascertain if any study-level moderator variables influenced blood pressure change and explain any of the observed interstudy variance in outcomes. The selected moderators to be run independently were intervention duration (in weeks), training frequency (sessions per week) and training compliance (mean percentage of prescribed sessions attended). Statistical heterogeneity was always tested alongside the pooled analysis and reported as the I² statistic. A significance threshold of 40% was applied to the I² statistic.<a id="xref-ref-37-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-37">37</a> Once past this threshold, post hoc tests such as Egger’s regression test (1997) was systematically planned to assess the presence of funnel plot asymmetry to account for potential publication bias.<a id="xref-ref-38-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-38">38</a> The selection of fixed or random effects approaches were dependent on the presence of heterogeneity, with random effects analysis applied when interstudy variability was confirmed through significant heterogeneity. The results of the pooled analysis were considered significant with a p value of <0.05 and a Z-value of >2.</p><p id="p-24">To facilitate the comparison of exercise modes that have not been directly compared in RCT’s and enhance the precision of comparative effect estimates (via the inclusion of both direct and indirect data), we performed NMAs. Bayesian NMAs were performed via the MetaInsight tool (version V4.0.2).<a id="xref-ref-39-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-39">39</a> MetaInsight is an interactive web-based tool powered by Rshiny which uses R packages ‘gemtc’ and ‘BUGSnet’ for Bayesian statistical calculations. This analysis runs Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations with four chains and a total of 25 000 iterations (burn-in period of 5000). Convergence of the model was tested via the Gelman-Rubin convergence assessment.<a id="xref-ref-40-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-40">40</a> Based on pre-established interstudy heterogeneity, random-effects analyses of WMD were selected. Inconsistency between direct and indirect effect size comparisons were assessed via node-splitting models<a id="xref-ref-41-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-41">41</a> with corresponding Bayesian P values. Residual deviance plots for the NMA with consistency models and unrelated mean effect inconsistency models were produced. For any studies with large residual deviance (>2), further exploration was planned and exclusion in a sensitivity analysis. To assess the moderator effect of baseline SBP and DBP, Bayesian NMA meta-regression analyses were separately performed using WinBUGS version 1.4.<a id="xref-ref-42-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-42">42</a> </p><p id="p-25">Separate NMAs were run by primary exercise mode categorisation (AET, RT, CT, HIIT and IET), and then via secondary exercise subgroup categorisation (walking, running, cycling, RT, CT, SIT, AIT, IHG, ILE, IWS). As there was no pre-established secondary exercise mode categorisation for RT and CT, these were included in both analyses. Network diagrams were produced to visualise the direct and indirect comparisons across different exercise modes. NMA data are reported as mean effect with 95% credible intervals. Ranking probability analyses were performed, with surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values generated for each exercise mode and submode, and displayed as litmus rank-o-gram SUCRA plots.<a id="xref-ref-43-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-43">43</a> </p></div><div id="sec-15" class="subsection"><h3>Equity, diversity, and inclusion statement</h3><p id="p-26">Our study included all identified randomised controlled trials of exercise training for the management of blood pressure, inclusive of all genders, race/ethnicities and socioeconomic levels.

Comparatively, IET was significantly more effective at reducing SBP than AET (WMD: −3.86 mm Hg, 95% CI 1.19 to 6.54), HIIT (WMD: −3.95 mm Hg, 95% CI 0.93 to 7.03) and RT (WMD: −3.68 mm Hg, 95% CI 0.71 to 6.66). There were no other significant differences between primary exercise modes for SBP. In agreement with the pairwise meta-analysis, the NMA meta-regression demonstrated a significant moderator effect of baseline SBP across the exercise modes. Specifically, a single unit increase in mean baseline control group SBP increased the mean intervention change by 0.10 mm Hg (95% CI 0.05 to 0.15).

Comparatively, there were no statistically significant differences between the primary exercise modes for DBP. In agreement with the pairwise meta-analysis, the NMA meta-regression demonstrated a significant moderator effect of baseline DBP across the exercise modes. Specifically, a single unit increase in mean baseline control group DBP increased the mean intervention change by 0.06 mm Hg (95% CI 0.01 to 0.12).

Pairwise analyses demonstrated a significant reduction in resting SBP and DBP following all exercise modes except AIT. All modes demonstrated substantially larger reductions in hypertensive cohorts than those with normal baseline blood pressure. As shown by the primary NMA, the rank order of effectiveness based on SUCRA values for SBP were IET ranked highest followed by CT, RT, AET and HIIT. IET was also highest ranked in the DBP NMA, followed by RT, HIIT, CT and AET. NMA of the secondary exercise submodes for SBP found IWS to be the most effective, followed by ILE, IHG, cycling, running, CT, SIT, other aerobic, RT, AIT and finally, walking. The DBP secondary NMA found running to be the most effective submode, followed by IWS, IHG, ILE, cycling, SIT, RT, AIT, other aerobic, CT and walking.</p><div id="F6" class="fig pos-float odd"><div class="highwire-figure"><div class="fig-inline-img-wrapper"><div class="fig-inline-img"><a href="https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjsports/57/20/1317/F6.large.jpg?width=800&height=600&carousel=1" title="Central illustration.

Cornelissen <em>et al</em> <a id="xref-ref-21-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-21">21</a> similarly reported IET to be the most effective exercise mode, but largely differed in magnitude for all other mode analyses, which is probably attributable to the substantial number of newer trials included in the present analysis. This is supported by the more recent Naci <em>et al</em> <a id="xref-ref-22-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-22">22</a> NMA, which did not assess DBP, but showed more homogeneous AET, RT and CT SBP changes than in the present work. Given the emphasis placed on the Cornelissen and Smart<a id="xref-ref-21-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-21">21</a> study in both the ESC/ESH<a id="xref-ref-5-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-5">5</a> and American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA)<a id="xref-ref-4-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-4">4</a> blood pressure management guidelines, the findings of the present study, combined with that of Naci <em>et al</em>,<a id="xref-ref-22-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-22">22</a> suggest the need for an exercise recommendation guideline update.</p><p id="p-50">A previous meta-review from Hanssen <em>et al</em> <a id="xref-ref-44-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-44">44</a> sought to identify optimal personalised exercise prescription practices in the prevention and treatment of hypertension by indirectly comparing meta-analysis data from varying exercise modes. Differentially, our work applied a more direct approach in statistically comparing all individual RCTs. As such, our differences in findings, particularly for IET, may be in part attributed to the inevitable reliance of Hanssen <em>et al</em> <a id="xref-ref-44-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-44">44</a> on older meta-analysis data to summarise the current effectiveness of IET,<a id="xref-ref-45-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-45">45–47</a> as well as the inherent limitations of indirect meta-analytic comparisons. In particular, this previous umbrella review showed the inequitable over-representation of AET and RT meta-analysis research, concurrent with the under-representation of IET, CT and HIIT meta-analysis work, resulting in dependence on inadequately powered and dated systematic review and meta-analysis data to draw comparative conclusions.<a id="xref-ref-44-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-44">44</a> As our analysis sourced the data directly from each RCT, this limiting gap between the dissemination of RCT data and its eventual transfer into published meta-analysis research was not present in our work.</p><p id="p-51">Importantly, this updated analysis now provides large-scale data establishing CT as an effective exercise mode in reducing blood pressure, a mode which was previously considered inconclusive due to insufficient evidence.<a id="xref-ref-21-5" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-21">21</a> Naci <em>et al</em> <a id="xref-ref-22-5" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-22">22</a> previously reported similar SBP changes, but without any DBP data to support, while Hanssen <em>et al</em> <a id="xref-ref-44-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-44">44</a> also provided support for CT but could only make limited comparative inferences on the basis of a single meta-analysis.<a id="xref-ref-48-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-48">48</a> While the reductions observed from CT ostensibly appear somewhat comparable to those of IET, our novel analysis demonstrates that this magnitude of SBP reduction following CT is predominantly moderated by the greater prevalence of hypertensive populations included within the analysis. Indeed, the magnitude of change is underwhelming in those studies of normal blood pressure and prehypertensive cohorts, and the NMA SBP sensitivity analysis revealed the fragile nature of this body of data. Separately, and conversely to previous reports,<a id="xref-ref-21-6" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-21">21</a> RT now appears comparable to AET in reducing resting blood pressure. However, it should be noted that the effectiveness of AET seems dependent on the submode performed, with cycling and running significantly more effective than walking AET. Our meta-regression analyses also reported the tendency for a greater SBP reduction with lower weekly training frequency in AET. Considering the interstudy differences in research protocols, the reason for this finding is unclear, but may provide loose support for the application of AET at a lower (eg, 3 times per week) frequency as opposed to extensive weekly volumes (≥5 times per week).</p><p id="p-52">As a novel intervention, HIIT produced clinically relevant reductions in both SBP and DBP but ranked as the least effective among all primary modes for SBP. Secondary submode analyses (both pairwise and NMA) reveal the overarching SBP reductions to be primarily driven by SIT (low volume, maximal intensity intervals), while AIT (4×4 min intervals) failed to reach statistical significance for either SBP or DBP. This finding, combined with the comparative inferiority of walking against running and cycling AET, appears to highlight the need for higher intensity training to produce the greatest blood pressure reductions.</p><p id="p-53">Similarly to IET, HIIT has recently generated substantial research interest due to its time-efficient and convenient nature, suggesting, although not without some disagreement,<a id="xref-ref-49-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-49">49</a> the potential for increased adoption and adherence, with both modes having promising future clinical utility.<a id="xref-ref-50-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-50">50–54</a> However, the outcomes of this analysis support our previous work,<a id="xref-ref-24-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-24">24</a> which concluded that IET was the superior antihypertensive exercise mode. While IET may still require larger-scale longitudinal RCTs,<a id="xref-ref-51-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-51">51 55</a> its clinical implementation as the primary recommended exercise mode in managing blood pressure in normotensive, prehypertensive and hypertensive individuals is supported by the present results. Importantly, the previous work of Cornelissen and Smart<a id="xref-ref-21-7" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-21">21</a> included only four IET trials in 2013. Since then, a number of IET trials and subsequent meta-analyses over the previous decade have been published,<a id="xref-ref-24-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-24">24 45 56–58</a> with the present study including 19 RCTs. Subsequently, the confidence interval of this finding has substantially narrowed,<a id="xref-ref-59-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-59">59</a> providing more accurate SBP and DBP effect sizes of 8.2 and 4.0 mm Hg, respectively, which is comparable to standard-dose antihypertensive monotherapy.<a id="xref-ref-60-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-60">60 61</a> </p><p id="p-54">Of interest, the NMA findings highlight the IWS as more effective than the traditionally employed IHG. Despite the support of this analysis for IET, a degree of caution when interpreting these findings is advised given the current disparity in the quantity of trials analysed.<a id="xref-ref-56-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-56">56</a> As seen in <a id="xref-fig-5-3" class="xref-fig" href="#F5">figure 5</a>, the NMA included no direct comparative IET data. Previous trials that did not meet the inclusion criteria of this analysis have indeed shown conflicting results regarding the comparative effectiveness of IET against current exercise guidelines,<a id="xref-ref-62-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-62">62 63</a> which requires consideration when interpreting these findings.</p><div id="sec-20" class="subsection"><h3>Limitations</h3><p id="p-55">Several limitations of this study should be acknowledged. Although only RCTs were included in this analysis, our TESTEX risk of bias assessment demonstrated several limitations consistent across the exercise training literature, including poor control group activity monitoring, missing intention-to-treat analyses and participant and investigator awareness on group allocation. Furthermore, with such a large analysis, we inevitably included trials of varying participant populations, statistical and methodological processes and exercise intervention specifics. As a likely consequence of this interstudy variability, we found significant heterogeneity for the majority of analyses. Additionally, we also found significant publication bias for overall AET SBP and DBP and IET DBP. Some of the more novel exercise modes, such as SIT, AIT, ILE and IWS involved an analysis of comparatively fewer RCTs than that of the more established modes such as AET and RT. As a result, these submodes could not be stratified and analysed by baseline blood pressure status. Finally, the majority of RCTs included in this analysis set a priori minimum attendance thresholds for inclusion in their analysis (eg, >80% of sessions completed). Therefore, our training compliance moderator analysis is, by default, not inclusive of low attendance rates, and these findings should be interpreted only in the context of assessing a compliance moderator effect among those individuals who are already adhering.</p></div><div id="sec-21" class="subsection"><h3>Conclusion</h3><p id="p-56">Aerobic exercise training, dynamic resistance training, combined training, high-intensity interval training and isometric exercise training are all significantly effective in reducing resting SBP and DBP. Comparatively, isometric exercise training remains the most effective mode. The findings of this analysis should inform future guideline recommendations.</p></div></div><div class="section ethics-statement" id="sec-22"><h2 class="">Ethics statements</h2><div class="section"
