Summary

Researchers are testing whether one 50-minute Pilates session changes blood pressure over the next 24 hours in women aged 50 and older with elevated blood pressure. Participants also complete a treadmill walking session for comparison. Each woman wears a portable blood pressure monitor for a day after each session, and the two exercise sessions are spaced about a week apart.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pilates exercise session
What this could lead to
If Pilates lowers blood pressure for a day, it could offer women a gentle exercise option for managing elevated blood pressure.
What could go wrong
This is a tiny study of 15 women, so any effect may be small, short-lived, or not apply to other groups. Exercise can also cause injury or strain.
