    <p>A hipertens&#227;o &#233; um dos fatores de risco mais importantes para eventos cardiovasculares, e est&#225; fortemente relacionada &#224; disfun&#231;&#227;o endotelial<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1"><sup>1</sup></xref> A fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial avaliada pela t&#233;cnica de dilata&#231;&#227;o mediada por fluxo (DMF) &#233; 3,2% menor em hipertensos do que em normotensos.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2"><sup>2</sup></xref> O balan&#231;o negativo entre dano e regenera&#231;&#227;o de c&#233;lulas endoteliais, indicado por um elevado n&#250;mero de micropart&#237;culas endoteliais (MPE) circulantes e n&#237;veis reduzidos de c&#233;lulas progenitoras endoteliais (CPE), &#233; preditor de eventos cardiovasculares em hipertensos.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3"><sup>3</sup></xref> Assim, terapias capazes de influenciar positivamente a fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial s&#227;o importantes para melhorar o progn&#243;stico na hipertens&#227;o.</p>
    <p>A pr&#225;tica regular de exerc&#237;cios &#233; recomendada n&#227;o apenas pelo benef&#237;cio de reduzir a press&#227;o arterial, mas tamb&#233;m para reduzir a morbidade e mortalidade cardiovascular em hipertensos.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4"><sup>4</sup></xref> Importantes adapta&#231;&#245;es vasculares induzidas por exerc&#237;cio, principalmente resultando em aumento da vasodilata&#231;&#227;o dependente do endot&#233;lio, podem explicar parcialmente esses benef&#237;cios do exerc&#237;cio. Uma meta-an&#225;lise pr&#233;via mostrou efeitos positivos do exerc&#237;cio aer&#243;bico na fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial de hipertensos.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5"><sup>5</sup></xref> No entanto, a varia&#231;&#227;o dos resultados sugere que diferentes protocolos de exerc&#237;cio (tipos e intensidade) e caracter&#237;sticas dos participantes podem influenciar a resposta da fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial ao treinamento f&#237;sico. Al&#233;m disso, &#233; necess&#225;rio saber os mecanismos subjacentes para a melhora endotelial.</p>
    <p>Diante disso, Waclawovsky et al.,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> ajudaram a esclarecer alguns desses pontos. Os autores pesquisaram a literatura em busca de ensaios cl&#237;nicos randomizados (ECR) que investigassem os efeitos de diferentes protocolos de treinamento f&#237;sico na fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial, MPE e CPE em pr&#233;-hipertensos e hipertensos. Foram pesquisadas diferentes bases de dados (e.g.: MEDLINE, Cochrane, LILACS, EMBASE e SciELO), e aplicou-se a estrat&#233;gia PICOS para conseguir 10 estudos eleg&#237;veis.</p>
    <p>Em rela&#231;&#227;o ao exerc&#237;cio aer&#243;bico, 9 estudos envolveram grupos de treinamento aer&#243;bico permitindo especula&#231;&#245;es de dose-resposta em rela&#231;&#227;o &#224; melhora vascular. Assim, os autores sugeriram que o treinamento de intensidade moderada realizado 3 vezes/semana por 30&#8211;40 min pode ser melhor para melhorar a fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial em hipertensos, enquanto o treinamento intervalado vigoroso pode ser uma alternativa em pr&#233;-hipertensos. Na verdade, um estudo anterior detectou que cada aumento absoluto (2-MET) ou relativo (10%) na intensidade do treinamento aer&#243;bico resulta em uma melhora de quase 1% na fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial sem influ&#234;ncia do volume de treinamento.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7"><sup>7</sup></xref> A teoria subjacente aos maiores benef&#237;cios propiciados pela maior intensidade se baseia na maior taxa de cisalhamento produzida por um fluxo sangu&#237;neo mais r&#225;pido levando a n&#237;veis mais elevados de &#243;xido n&#237;trico. Digno de nota, um estudo de Waclawovsky et al.,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> avaliou hipertensos sem s&#237;ndrome metab&#243;lica ou doen&#231;a cardiovascular, demonstrando benef&#237;cio espec&#237;fico do treinamento aer&#243;bico para hipertens&#227;o, independente de comorbidades. Estudos anteriores envolvendo diferentes popula&#231;&#245;es (por exemplo: saud&#225;veis, hipertensos, diab&#233;ticos, pacientes card&#237;acos, etc.) sugerem que as caracter&#237;sticas antropom&#233;tricas e de sa&#250;de podem influenciar as melhorias da fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial induzidas pelo treinamento aer&#243;bico. De fato, an&#225;lises de subgrupo em uma meta-an&#225;lise anterior demonstraram que indiv&#237;duos n&#227;o obesos apresentam maior melhora da fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial com treinamento aer&#243;bico do que obesos. Al&#233;m disso, indiv&#237;duos com menores valores basais de DMF apresentam mais melhorias ap&#243;s o treinamento do que aqueles que apresentam valores basais mais elevados.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7"><sup>7</sup></xref></p>
    <p>Em rela&#231;&#227;o ao exerc&#237;cio resistido, Waclawovsky et al.,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> encontraram apenas dois estudos que inclu&#237;ram grupos de exerc&#237;cios resistidos din&#226;micos e ambos apresentaram resultados de fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial positivos. No entanto, um estudo publicado ap&#243;s a busca dos autores (2020) n&#227;o encontrou nenhuma altera&#231;&#227;o na fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial com esse tipo de treino em compara&#231;&#227;o com o grupo controle.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8"><sup>8</sup></xref> Al&#233;m disso, a revis&#227;o de Waclawovsky et al.,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> encontrou o &#250;nico estudo com exerc&#237;cio isom&#233;trico resistido, que aumentou a DMF, mas apenas em bra&#231;os treinados,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9"><sup>9</sup></xref> sugerindo um efeito local desse tipo de exerc&#237;cio. Portanto, com base no pequeno n&#250;mero de estudos, qualquer conclus&#227;o sobre os efeitos do exerc&#237;cio resistido na fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial na hipertens&#227;o ou seus fatores de influ&#234;ncia &#233; arriscada. No entanto, uma revis&#227;o com popula&#231;&#245;es mais abrangentes, incluindo hipertensos, revelou um efeito positivo do exerc&#237;cio din&#226;mico de resist&#234;ncia na fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7"><sup>7</sup></xref></p>
    <p>Em rela&#231;&#227;o aos mecanismos de melhora da fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial induzida pelo exerc&#237;cio, espera-se o aumento da biodisponibilidade do &#243;xido n&#237;trico por meio da redu&#231;&#227;o de sua degrada&#231;&#227;o por radicais livres.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10"><sup>10</sup></xref> Al&#233;m disso, o equil&#237;brio entre o dano e a regenera&#231;&#227;o das c&#233;lulas endoteliais surgiu como uma ferramenta promissora. Relatou-se a redu&#231;&#227;o das MPE e um aumento das CPE (isto &#233;, biomarcador de reparo) ap&#243;s o exerc&#237;cio f&#237;sico em amostras heterog&#234;neas.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11"><sup>11</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12"><sup>12</sup></xref> No entanto, Waclawovsky et al.,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> n&#227;o conseguiram encontrar nenhum ECR que investigasse os efeitos de qualquer tipo de exerc&#237;cio f&#237;sico sobre esses biomarcadores em hipertensos. Isso revelou uma importante lacuna na literatura e a necessidade de estudos futuros.</p>
    <p>Em resumo, os achados relatados por Waclawovsky et al.,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> contribuem para a literatura ao confirmar o efeito positivo do treinamento aer&#243;bico na melhora da fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial em hipertensos. Tamb&#233;m sugere que a intensidade do exerc&#237;cio aer&#243;bico pode influenciar essa melhora, o que deve ser refor&#231;ado com mais estudos. No entanto, o falta de estudos com exerc&#237;cio resistido din&#226;mico e isom&#233;trico em hipertensos exp&#244;s a necessidade de mais ECRs para permitir conclus&#245;es robustas sobre seu benef&#237;cio na fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial. Finalmente, a literatura sugere que o equil&#237;brio entre dano e regenera&#231;&#227;o do tecido endotelial parece ser uma chave promissora para entender os benef&#237;cios do exerc&#237;cio na fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial. Waclawovsky et al.,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> mostrou claramente a necessidade de estudos que investiguem os efeitos do exerc&#237;cio sobre os mecanismos da fun&#231;&#227;o endotelial.</p>

    <body>
      <p>Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular events, which is strongly related with endothelial dysfunction.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1"><sup>1</sup></xref> Endothelial function assessed by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is 3.2% lower in hypertensives than in normotensives.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2"><sup>2</sup></xref> The negative balance between damage and regeneration of endothelial cells indicated by a high number of circulating endothelial microparticles (EMP) and reduced levels of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) is predictor of cardiovascular events in hypertensives.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3"><sup>3</sup></xref> Thus, therapies able to positively influence endothelial function are important to improve prognosis in hypertension.</p>
      <p>Regular practice of exercise is recommended not only for the benefit of lowering blood pressure, but also for reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hypertensives.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4"><sup>4</sup></xref> Important exercise-induced vascular adaptations, mainly resulting in increased endothelium-dependent vasodilation, may partially explain these exercise benefits. A previous meta-analysis showed positive effects of aerobic exercise on the endothelial function of hypertensives.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5"><sup>5</sup></xref> However, the variation of results suggests that different exercise protocols (types and intensity) and subjects&#8217; characteristics may influence the response of endothelial function to exercise training. In addition, the underlying mechanisms for endothelial improvement need to be known.</p>
      <p>Given that, Waclawovsky et al.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> helped to clarify some of these points. The authors searched the literature looking for randomized controlled trials (RCT) investigating the effects of different exercise training protocols on endothelial function, EPM and EPC in pre-hypertensives and hypertensives. Different databases (e.g.: MEDLINE, Cochrane, LILACS, EMBASE and SciELO) were searched and the PICOS strategy was applied to reach 10 eligible studies.</p>
      <p>Regarding aerobic exercise, 9 studies involved aerobic training groups allowing for dose-response speculations regarding vascular improvement. Thus, the authors suggested that moderate intensity training performed 3 times/week for 30&#8211;40 min may be better to improve endothelial function in hypertensives, while vigorous interval training might be an alternative in pre-hypertensives. Actually, a previous study detected that every absolute (2-MET) or relative (10 %) increase in the intensity of aerobic training results in nearly 1% improvement in endothelial function with no influence from volume of training.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7"><sup>7</sup></xref> Theory behind higher intensity promoting greater benefits relies on the greater shear rate produced by faster blood flow leading to higher nitric oxide levels. Noteworthy, a study by Waclawovsky et al.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> evaluated hypertensives without metabolic syndrome or cardiovascular disease, showing a specific benefit of aerobic training for hypertension regardless of comorbidities. Previous studies involving different populations (e.g.: healthy, hypertensives, diabetics, cardiac patients, etc.) suggest that health and anthropometric characteristics may influence endothelial function improvements induced by aerobic training. Indeed, subgroup analyses in a previous meta-analysis demonstrated that non-obese individuals present greater enhancement in endothelial function with aerobic training than obese ones. Additionally, individuals with lower baseline FMD values present greater improvements after training than those who present higher baseline values.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7"><sup>7</sup></xref></p>
      <p>Concerning resistance exercise, Waclawovsky et al.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> found only two studies that included dynamic resistance exercise groups and both presented positive endothelial function results. However, a study published after the authors&#8217; search (2020) did not find any change in endothelial function with this type of training compared with the control group.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8"><sup>8</sup></xref> Additionally, Waclawovsky et al.'s review<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> found the only one study with isometric resistance training and this training increased FMD but only in trained arms,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9"><sup>9</sup></xref> suggesting a local effect of this type of exercise. Therefore, based on the few number of studies, any conclusion about the effects of resistance training on endothelial function in hypertension or its factors of influence is risky. Nevertheless, a review with more comprehensive populations, including hypertensives, revealed a positive effect of dynamic resistance training on endothelial function.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7"><sup>7</sup></xref></p>
      <p>Regarding the mechanisms for exercise-induced endothelial function improvement, the enhancement of nitric oxide bioavailability by reducing its degradation by free radicals is expected.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10"><sup>10</sup></xref> In addition, the balance between damaging and regeneration of endothelial cells has emerged as a promising tool. The reduction of EMP and an increase of EPC (i.e. repair biomarker) has been reported after exercise training in heterogeneous samples.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11"><sup>11</sup></xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12"><sup>12</sup></xref> However, Waclawovsky et al.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> were not able to find any RCTs investigating the effects of any type of exercise training on these biomarkers in hypertensives. This revealed an important lack in the literature and the need for future studies.</p>
      <p>In summary, the findings reported by Waclawovsky et al.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> contribute to the literature by confirming the positive effect of aerobic training improving endothelial function in hypertensives. It also suggests that the intensity of aerobic exercise may influence this improvement, which should be strengthened with more studies. However, the lack of studies with dynamic and isometric resistance training in hypertensives exposed the need for more RCTs to allow robust conclusions about their benefit on endothelial function. Finally, the literature suggests that balance between damage and regeneration of endothelial tissue seems to be a promising key to understand exercise benefits in endothelial function. Waclawovsky et al.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6"><sup>6</sup></xref> clearly showed the need for studies investigating the exercise effects on endothelial function mechanisms.</p>
