Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of regular aerobic exercise on cardiorespiratory endurance and blood pressure responses to exercise in patients with H-type hypertension. 

Methods: A total of 100 patients with H-type hypertension admitted to our hospital between October 2019 and October 2020 were selected and divided into the control group (n=50) and the experimental group (n=50) by coin tossing, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, the control group patients underwent regular exercise, while the patients in the experimental group performed regular aerobic exercise. After that, the ambulatory blood pressures during exercise and at rest, cardiorespiratory endurance, body mass indexes at 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after exercise, Barthel indexes as well as blood Hcy levels before exercise and after one-month exercise were all compared between the two groups. 

Results: The ambulatory blood pressures during exercise and at rest, as well as the blood Hcy levels after one-month exercise in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); the cardiorespiratory endurance, body mass indexes at 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after exercise and Barthel indexes in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.05); there were no significant differences in the blood Hcy levels before exercise between the two groups, with no statistical significance (P>0.05). 

Conclusion: Regular aerobic exercise can significantly stabilize blood pressure levels during exercise and improve cardiorespiratory endurance in patients with H-type hypertension, which has high application value in improving and controlling the conditions of hypertension patients.
