At present, it is believed that why aerobic exercise can lower blood pressure is mainly related to its reduction of the activities of sympathetic nerve and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. As we all know, the decrease of sympathetic nerve activity can reduce the vascular tension, and it is easy to change from tension to relaxation, while the decrease of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activity can relieve the spasm of small blood vessels and make them easy to expand. The combination of the two drugs reduces the afterload of the heart on the one hand, and the resistance of peripheral blood vessels on the other hand, thus effectively lowering blood pressure, which is recognized as one of the basic treatments for hypertension.

Medical experts point out that the close combination of aerobic exercise with diet therapy and drug therapy will have a very significant impact on the control of hypertension, which can make the blood pressure drop steadily and help to fundamentally improve the quality of life of patients. Therefore, patients with hypertension must pay attention to and carry out aerobic exercise. In recent years, there are many aerobic exercises recommended by medical experts, including walking, brisk walking, jogging, swimming, mountain climbing, cycling, aerobic exercise, playing Tai Ji Chuan, badminton and table tennis. Patients should choose several items to exercise step by step and persistently according to their personal hobbies, interests and physical condition. The daily exercise time should be around 1 hour to achieve obvious results.
