  We previously reported evidence about the positive effects of continuous aerobic training (CAT) in hypertensive obese people. We showed that 90 min/week of aerobic exercise on a treadmill (70%-80% of the Maximal Heart Rate [MHR]) was able to improve the systemic blood metabolism of obese subjects. Therefore, we believe that reducing the recommended amount of aerobic exercise (150 min/week) by American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) is a valuable strategy to for sedentary individuals with pathological conditions, since the suggested protocol is easyto- perform, fast and enjoyable for the subjects. In this comment, we tempt to summarize the literature evidences regarding physical aerobic exercise on cardiac metabolism in hypertensive obese individuals. These findings may influence the consenting information over the prescription of physical activity for individuals with cardiac-assoc.. Read More»
