Hmm, there's a relation between blood pressure and aerobic capacity. Usually, iinm, people with higher ac have lower blood pressure -because the heart is stronger. So, the people in the tcc group "should" have improved ac too. No/
It's interesting that the 24 was used, since many consider it the least tcc of all. My original question was 'why' doing any tcc variety is better. If the 24 works, would simply doing movements slowly be better than doing aerobic exercise? Does it have to be tcc, or is it just an example?
Another issue is anaerobic training, but imo this becomes a question of goals. Some people can't do much aerobic or anaerobic exercise, so exercises like tcc suit them (and can improve their physical condition beyond). And there's the thing, tcc can be made to be physically challenging enough for anyone. It can be isometric or/and aerobic. Imo, what makes it even better is that it's more interesting than just doing push ups, running, or walking. (I won't say cycling, but I'm biased). And, the process of doing it can be meditative, which probably helps lower bp too. Not to mention, we can at least bs about martial arts and stuff.
