The prevalence of hypertension has doubled in the last two decades and evidence suggests that almost half the individuals are unaware of their condition. The antihypertensive effects of exercise are now undisputable, and exercise training is recommended by the major professional and scientific societies, including the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), as first-line treatment to prevent, treat, and control hypertension. This review aims to overview the evidence supporting the current ACSM Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type exercise recommendations for hypertension, discuss new and emerging evidence on exercise in the treatment of hypertension from our laboratories; and propose future directions of research integrating this new and emerging evidence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1249\/jsr.0000000000000983","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,10]],"date-time":"2022-08-10T08:01:02Z","timestamp":1660118462000},"page":"280-288","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Exercise to Treat Hypertension: Late Breaking News on Exercise Prescriptions That FITT"],"prefix":"10.1249","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Alberto J.","family":"Alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health and Human Development (CIDESD), University of Maia, Maia, Porto, PORTUGAL"}]},{"given":"Yin","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT"}]},{"given":"Susana","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedicine, (iBiMED), School of Health Sciences, University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Porto, PORTUGAL"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedicine, (iBiMED), School of Health Sciences, University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Porto, PORTUGAL"}]},{"given":"Linda S.","family":"Pescatello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"bib1-20250731","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"957","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(21)01330-1","article-title":"Worldwide trends in hypertension prevalence and progress in treatment and control from 1990 to 2019: a pooled analysis of 1201 population-representative studies with 104 million participants","volume":"398","year":"2021","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"bib2-20250731","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"785","DOI":"10.1038\/s41569-021-00559-8","article-title":"Global epidemiology, health burden and effective interventions for elevated blood pressure and hypertension","volume":"18","year":"2021","journal-title":"Nat.
