Garg et al. (2014) found mean difference (MD) of -9.87 mmHg in SBP and -5.26 mmHg in DBP. Sandhu et al. (2014) found MD of -7.04 mmHg in SBP and -6.56 mmHg in DBP. Gandhi (2016) found MD of -3.24 mmHg in SBP and -4.03 mmHg in DBP. Overall there was a mean reduction of 6.72 mmHg in SBP and 5.28 mmHg in DBP. Conclusion: After isometric exercise in Indians BP reduction is as of Western counterparts.
