Abstract
Many meta-analyses have been conducted to summarize the growing numbers of controlled trials addressing the blood pressure (BP) response to exercise. This study addressed this gap. Meta-analyses were retrieved from electronic databases (PubMed, Biosis, Scopus, and Web of Science) with pre-established inclusion criteria: 1) applied meta-analytic procedures; 2) to controlled exercise trials; and 3) that had systolic BP (SBP) or diastolic (DBP) as endpoints. The AMSTAR questionnaire (Shea et al., 2007) and several customized items quantified the quality of the procedures in the meta-analyses. The 22 meta-analyses that qualified for this review were published between 1993 and 2011 and reviewed widely varying exercise modalities and populations. Total methodological quality ranged from 13.33% to 76.47% of the total points possible (Mean 46.72+ or -20.22%), with more recent meta-analyses scoring significantly higher, r(21)=0.59, p<.01, and with higher quality meta-analyses being more cited per year in the Web of Knowledge, in a non-significant trend, r(21)=0.30, p=.17.
