The effect of AT and LZJ exercises on hypertensive. (A) Lines show individual participant trajectories at the 24 h SBP. (B) Decision tree for the determination of BP responders and BP non-responders. According to the changes of 24 h-SBP in individuals before and after intervention (W1–W12), hypertensive patients were divided into BP responders and BP non-responders. BP responders: (i) SBP was lower or equal to 135 mmHg at W1, and decreased at W12; (ii) SBP is higher than 135 mmHg at W1 and decreases more than 5 mmHg at W12; (iii) SBP is higher than 135 mmHg at W1 but lower than or equal to 135 mmHg at W12. BP non-responders: (i) SBP is lower than or equal to 135 mmHg at W1, but SBP rises at W12; (ii) SBP is higher than 135 mmHg at W1, SBP decrease is not more than 5 mmHg and SBP is still higher than 135 mmHg at W12; (C) The proportion of BP responders in LZJ and AT groups, with red circles representing the BP responder and blue representing the non-BP responder; (D) The change of 24 h SBP in BP responders; The line within the boxplot indicates the median. Whiskers are drawn to minimum and maximum values, but not further than 1.5 × IQ.
