  • High blood pressure is often hard to control without medication. But there's some new research that shows certain isometric exercises (contracting muscles without movement) can help prevent and reduce high blood pressure, or hypertension.
    A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine and summarized by CNN (www.cnn.com/2023/07/27/health...) showed that isometric exercises like wall squats and planks may be best for lowering blood pressure. Both exercises can be modified, and then progressed.

    Thank you! I do the wall sit at least 3 to 5 squats without resting back on wall, hold for some seconds and then straighten up. About twice or thrice a week with other stretch excercises for around 8 to 10 minutes. I thought it was more for balance. Great to know the excercise helps lower high bp too. Will include the plank gradually to my routine.

    This is so interesting! Thanks for sharing. I went and read the study, and as far as I understand it with all the abbreviations, it looks like it's saying that among the isometric exercises, isometric leg extension is extremely effective at reducing blood pressure, too. That sounds like it would be a really good option for someone with significant arthritis who has trouble with the weight-bearing aspects of the other isometric options. Could you talk about that at some point?

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  7 місяців тому

      You're welcome. Yes, that one is very effective as well as it also works larger muscle groups, which seems to be what makes them so effective.

    Dr Jo, how many times should I do these planks / wall sits in a single exercise period?
    I understand that I need to do these 3 times a week.

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  7 місяців тому +2

      The Arthritis Foundation recommends doing 10 wall squats three times weekly. Isometric training programs usually involve four two-minute contractions, separated by one- to four-minute rest intervals, done three times per week, according to the study.
