“Brief bursts of intense exercise normalizes blood pressure in older adults,” by Alicia Lasek, McKnight’s LTC News

Participants in their 60s with diagnosed hypertension underwent sprint interval training twice a week: six-seconds of high-intensity cycling, broken by short periods of rest, for up to 12 minutes in duration.”
