(1) Background: Non-pharmacological interventions have demonstrated efficacy in the prevention, management, and control of hypertension. Multicomponent training confers a host of benefits to the general populace. The aim of this research was to assess the impact of multicomponent training on the blood pressure of adults with hypertension and ascertain the nature of the dose–response relationship. (2) Methods: This systematic review adhered to the PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO. Eight studies were included, following a literature search across PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and EBSCO. Randomized controlled trials implementing multicomponent training interventions on adults with hypertension were considered for inclusion. A quality assessment was performed using the PEDro scale, with a random-effects model utilized for all analyses. (3) Results: Multicomponent training yielded a significant reduction in systolic (MD = −10.40, p < 0.001) and diastolic (MD = −5.97, p < 0.001) blood pressure relative to the control group. Interventions lasting over 14 weeks with a minimum frequency of three sessions per week, each lasting 60 min, were deemed most effective. (4) Conclusion: An optimal training intensity was achieved with 30 min of aerobic exercise at 75% of the heart rate reserve, whereas sets of 10 repetitions at 75% of one repetition maximum produced the best outcomes in strength training.

LifeAge guide is the result of a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. It aims to promote a healthy lifestyle, which includes proper nutrition and physical exercise, in order to achieve a better quality of life in older age. There is no doubt that population ageing is a global phenomenon that affects the whole of Western society. It is determined by profound demographic changes happened in the last decades: the reduction of mortality due to improved health conditions and medical progress, on the one hand, and the contraction of births on the other.The ageing of the population represents a "triumph" but also a "challenge" for society. Actually, it increases the burden of chronic degenerative diseases linked to ageing, with the consequent increase in welfare expenses and the difficulties of sustainability of the entire social and health system. ; This guide is funded by the European project: LIFEAGE-Promoting the Shift Sedentary Lifestyle towards Active Ageing (ref. 603121-EPP-1-2018-1-ES-SPOSCP).
