The authors submit findings of haemodynamic changes during long-term treatment of mild hypertension by physical training. Using this method, blood pressure was normalized in all subjects. The authors conclude that physical activity has a similar impact on the haemodynamics of mild hypertension as drugs which reduce the tension of the sympathetic nerve. A surprising finding was the diminution or complete disappearance of cardiac hypertrophy in this treatment.
