Recent research indicates that isometric exercises, such as planks and wall sits, can effectively lower blood pressure. These exercises involve holding a muscle contraction without movement, which helps improve vascular function and reduce systemic resistance. Studies have shown that regularly performing these exercises can lead to significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The benefits are thought to result from improved endothelial function and reduced arterial stiffness, making isometric exercises a promising addition to lifestyle interventions for hypertension management.
