Aim: To systematically review and report the articles on isometric exercise on blood pressure. Method: Study was done on February 2016 in Google Scholar using search terms 'Isometrics' and 'Blood pressure' AND 'India'. 420 articles were initially identified and after inclusion, exclusion criteria 3 articles are used for this review. Results: Studies were at least 5 weeks duration with 30% MVIC (maximum voluntary isometric contraction) of intensity for 3 min duration. Total of 110 subjects

(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.
