Regular physical activity is beneficial for reducing mortality in patients with high BP .
BACKGROUND Physical activity has been shown to be beneficial for the prevention and management of hypertension .
In the general population , physical activity has been shown to decrease mortality .
PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to identify and synthesize the literature examining the impact of physical activity on mortality in patients with high blood pressure ( BP ) .
Inhibition of platelet aggregability by moderate-intensity physical exercise: a randomized clinical trial in overweight men.
It has been postulated that platelet function plays an important role in the initiation of atherosclerosis . Currently there are no definitive data on the longer-term effects of regular physical exercise on platelet function in humans . We assessed the influence of regular moderate-intensity physical exercise ( brisk walking to slow jogging ) on platelet aggregation in a population -based sample of middle-aged , overweight , mildly hypertensive men in eastern Finl and . In this controlled study , we evaluated the net effect of exercise on platelet aggregation by study ing changes in optical density and ATP release in platelet-rich plasma . A significant inhibition of secondary platelet aggregation from 27 % to 36 % was observed in the men taking regular exercise .  These findings give new insight into the possible protective effects of exercise against the risk of ischemic heart disease
