When expressed in net percent change, peak oxygen
uptake increased by 11.8% (95% CL: 10.3; 13.4) and
heart rate and BMI decreased by, respectively, 6.8%
(5.5; 8.2) and 1.2% (0.8; 1.7). In 16 of 68 study
groups, in which average baseline blood pressure
was in the hypertensive range (SBP X140 or
diastolic blood pressure (DBP) X90 mmHg), the
weighted net blood pressure decrease was significant
and averaged 7.4/5.8 mmHg; the blood pressure
