Agreement between office and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure responses to exercise training in adults with elevated blood pressure or hypertension: a systematic review and within-trial meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

Protocol for a systematic review and within-trial meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials in adults with elevated blood pressure or hypertension. For each trial that reports both outcomes in the same randomised comparison, we will estimate the difference between the exercise effect on office blood pressure and on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure, and pool this difference with random-effects meta-analysis. The full protocol (version 1.0, 26 October 2026) is attached. The review has also been submitted to PROSPERO (CRD number pending).
