Aerobic exercise and resting blood pressure: a meta-analytic review of randomized, controlled trials
Open accessAbstract
In this study the authors used the meta‐analytic approach to examine the effects of aerobic exercise on resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adults. Forty‐seven clinical trials representing a total of 72 effect sizes in 2543 subjects (1653 exercise, 890 control) met the criteria for inclusion. Statistically significant exercise‐minus‐control decreases were found for changes in resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both hypertensive (systolic, −6 mm Hg, 95% CI, −8 to −3; diastolic, −5 mm Hg, 95% CI, −7 to −3) and normotensive (systolic, −2 mm Hg, 95% CI, −3 to −1; diastolic, −1 mm Hg, 95% CI, −2 to −1) groups. The differences between groups were statistically significant (systolic, p=0.008; diastolic, p=0.000). Relative decreases were approximately 4% (systolic) and 5% (diastolic) in hypertensives, and 2% (systolic) and 1% (diastolic) in normotensives. It was concluded that aerobic exercise reduces resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adults.

The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Both aerobic and resistance training can lower BP in nondiabetic individuals, with slightly greater effects observed with the former ( 49 , 134 , 135 , 137 ).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
