Objetive:

To identify interventions of the physical exercise directed to decrease values of the blood pressure in adolescents with hypertension and obesity

Materials and Method:

Systematic review of the randomized clinical trials and studies quasi-experimental under the PRISMA guidelines, consulted in PubMed, EBSCO (Academic Search Complete, Academic Search Elite, academic source, Medic Latina), Web of Science, Ovid, Cochrane Library y Scopus.

Results:

Three published studies in adolescents are included of 14 to 19 years old. Two of them were applied aerobic exercise with 50 minutes daily sessions in a four to six months course. In the third study, it was combined aerobic exercise and muscular endurance with 60 minutes sessions, three days a week for three months. In three interventions, there was a meaningful decrease of blood pressure values; however the intervention that combined aerobic exercise with muscular endurance showed more decrease of the arterial pressure values

Conclusions:

The combination of aerobic exercise and muscular endurance exercise seems to be promising for the prevention and treatment in adolescents with hypertension and obesity. More studies are needed to confirm these results, the number of items found is limited.
