Hypertension Help: Can Isometric Exercises Lower Blood Pressure?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2024
- 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 so much fir the invaluable information. Keep us informed. ❤
You're welcome.
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.
You're welcome!
Useful information 👍🙏
Great video. Thanks for posting the link. I enjoy doing planks. Wall sits is new for me.
Thanks, and you're welcome.
Interesting concept. Keen to give this a go with my patients soon :)

Very good explanations.
Thanks.
How long do you hold the wall sits for?
Thank you mam for your support in lowering bp, i will try it
You're welcome.
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?
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.
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.
Nice video mam plz make a video of exercises to raise bp thank u
Thanks, and you're welcome.
i just got back from the gp and my bp is 180/121 lol so this is great timing!
