Abstract

Exercise blood pressure is a marker of future cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among individuals with or without high resting BP or any other cardiovascular disease (CVD) signs and symptoms at present. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between SBP during submaximal exercise and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) among young men. Further, we investigated the trend displayed by submaximal SBP (SSBP) across different levels of CRF. Graded exercise test (GXT) using a Modified Bruce protocol was performed on 204 men; SSBP was recorded at each stage of the protocol. Quintiles of CRF were established on the basis of peak oxygen consumption (VO2), with the first quintile (Q) being the lowest fit group and fifth Q the most fit. The mean VO2 peaks in Q 1 through 5 were 32.3, 39.1, 43.4, 48.1 and 55.5 ml/kg per min, respectively. In a model adjusted for age, race, body fat percentage, resting SBP, alcohol intake and smoking, the largest difference in SSBP was observed between men in Q 1 and 2, with 7.6 mmHg (P = 0.05), 9.4 mmHg (P = 0.02) and 9.5 mmHg (P = 0.04) lower SSBP at minutes 6, 8 and 10 of GXT, respectively. SSBP plateaus at Q 3, followed by an increase in the higher Qs, although still lower than Q1. There was a reverse J-curve pattern relationship between SSBP and CRF, with the lowest SSBP among men with fair or good CRF and highest among those with poor CRF.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 November 2015.
All research outputs
#16,046,765
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Hypertension
#2,452
of 5,065 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#156,989
of 294,811 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Hypertension
#31
of 79 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,065 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 294,811 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 79 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
