NCT ID NCT07666607
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how moderate aerobic exercise affects blood pressure in people with hypertension living in cold regions. Researchers measured changes in blood pressure, heart rate variability, and stress-related markers after 16 weeks of exercise. The goal was to understand the body's temperature-sensitive pathways and provide a basis for personalized exercise plans.
