Effects of exercise on aerobic capacity in people with prehypertension or hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials examined how exercise interventions affect aerobic capacity in individuals with prehypertension or hypertension.
