This systematic review and meta-analysis analyzed the effects of different types of exercise training on the blood pressure and lipid profiles of older adults patients with hypertension. Five electronic databases (Web of Science, Cochrane, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus) were searched from their inception until March 03, 2024. English publications and randomized controlled trials involving different types of exercise training treatments for hypertensive populations were included. Data were analyzed using a random-effects model to estimate weighted mean differences (WMD) and 95 % confidence intervals.

The results of the meta‐analysis indicated that reduced systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressures (DBP) after aerobic training (<em>p <</em> 0.01), resistance training (<em>p <</em> 0.01), combined (aerobic + resistance) exercise training (<em>p <</em> 0.01) and isometric handgrip training (<em>p <</em> 0.01).

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were increased following aerobic training (<em>p <</em> 0.01), and combined (aerobic + resistance) exercise training (<em>p <</em> 0.01), but not after resistance and Tai chi training.
