Summary
This study looked at whether exercising in the morning or early evening makes a difference in blood pressure and blood vessel health for postmenopausal women with high blood pressure. Sixty-eight women did walking and handgrip exercises at different times of day. The goal was to see if timing could improve how well exercise lowers blood pressure.
