Abstract

This article reviews the response of the Arterial Blood Pressure to resistance
exercise. Several researchers have adopted several procedures to establish the effects of exercise on reduction of the arterial blood pressure. It is well
documented that resistance exercises have attenuating effects on high blood
pressure and improve cardiovascular health. However, the exercise protocol,
age, fitness level and intensity and consistency determine the effect on blood
pressure. Variant in exercise protocols by different authors have made
recommendation of a particular dose for a particular result impossible.
However, all the studies reviewed proved that resistance exercise have positive effect on the Blood Pressure and also promote cardiovascular health of all categories of people by reducing the risk of heart diseases.
