Design Randomized controlled trial. Participants A total of thirty-nine free-living older adults (including 19 men) aged from 60-81 years with home systolic blood pressure > 120 mmHg and without significant cardiopulmonary-musculoskeletal disease, were randomly allocated to either 25 weeks of exercise training (exercise group) or to a control program (control group). Main outcome measurements Change in the 2-week averages of home systolic and diastolic blood pressure values measured with a validated automatic device before, during and after the intervention period. Results Compared with the control group, the exercise group showed a significant decrease in values for home systolic blood pressure (maximum between-group difference = 7.7 mmHg, P= 0.003) and home diastolic blood pressure (4.2 mmHg, P= 0.001). These changes were observed for both genders. Conclusions Exercise training was effective for older adults in lowering home blood pressure values.
