Cardiovascular Benefits of Exercise in Hypertensive Individuals : Differences between aerobic and resistance training on human vasculature and cardiovascular and autonomic parameters

Exercise training responses show favorable adaptations on lowering blood pressure while additional benefits of improved blood flow and greater autonomic control are greater benefits. The benefits of resistance training are also shown to aid individuals with hypertension which have not been previously elucidated.
