About this ebook
According to ESC guidelines, lack of physical fitness is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality, independently of blood pressure (BP) values and other risk factors. Inactive individuals have a greater risk than their more physically active counterparts for developing high BP as they age. Even moderate levels of exercise can lower blood pressure. This booklet provides suggestions for all patients with hypertension who would like to exercise: sports to be avoided and sports recommended are listed.
