Does endurance effect your blood pressure?

Yes, endurance exercise can have a positive effect on blood pressure.

Regular endurance exercise, such as running, cycling, or swimming, can help to lower blood pressure by improving the function of the heart and blood vessels. When you exercise, your heart rate and blood pressure increase. This causes the heart muscle to become stronger and more efficient at pumping blood. The increased blood flow also helps to widen and strengthen the blood vessels, which further lowers blood pressure.

In addition, endurance exercise can help to reduce stress and improve sleep, both of which are important for controlling blood pressure.

The amount of endurance exercise you need to do to lower blood pressure will vary depending on your individual circumstances. However, most adults should aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.

If you have high blood pressure, talk to your doctor before starting an exercise program.
