Humoral factors as mediators of antihypertensive effect of exercise training: an update.
Introduction. The antihypertensive effect of physical exercise had been well recognized by 1990, and exercise was recommended in a World Health Organization Bulletin in 1991 [1]. The recommendation was subsequently adopted in the USA Joint National Committee's report of 1993 [2] and also in the guidelines for the management of mild hypertension issued by World Health Organization/International Society Hypertension in 1993 [3].
