The concept of treating hypertension without medication is seen as an attractive alternative to the problems that can arise with the use of drug therapy. Weight loss, salt restriction, relaxation therapy, and exercise have been the non-pharmacological treatments for hypertension. The role of long term exercise in lowering resting arterial pressure in hypertension, and its use as a non-drug therapy have been studied. Epidemiological studies of athletic ability, occupation, and leisure-time activities have provided equivocal findings and the effect of training on chronic high blood pressure of hypertensives is still unclear. Further well-controlled studies (with respect to training intensities, weight loss, concurrent hypotensive medication, salt restriction, and hypertensive classification), with an emphasis on elucidating the physiological mechanisms involved, are required so that the contribution of exercise to hypertensive therapy can be determined.
不使用药物治疗高血压的概念被视为应对药物治疗可能出现问题的一种有吸引力的替代方法。减肥、限盐、放松疗法和运动一直是高血压的非药物治疗方法。长期运动在降低高血压患者静息动脉压方面的作用及其作为非药物疗法的应用已得到研究。对运动能力、职业和休闲活动的流行病学研究结果并不明确，训练对高血压患者慢性高血压的影响仍不清楚。需要进一步进行严格对照的研究（涉及训练强度、体重减轻、同时使用的降压药物、限盐和高血压分级），重点是阐明其中涉及的生理机制，以便确定运动对高血压治疗的贡献。
