Abstract
Introduction: Physical activity in children and adolescents has numerous benefi ts for cardiovascular health.
Aim: To determine does physical activity infl uence on
blood pressure in children and adolescents.
Materials and methods: Electronic literature search and
review of the list of references downloaded articles with
keywords “physical activity, blood pressure, children and
adolescents.”
Results: In this paper are presented the researches
which has shown a clear link between physical activity
and decrease blood pressure in children, as well as a
review of studies in which the relationship has not been
confi rmed. The analysis is ultimately included 12 studies with a total of 12,512 respondents: seven studies
(8455 patients) in which is confi rmed and fi ve studies
(4057 patients) in which is not confi rmed link between physical activity and blood pressure levels. Seven study
was a randomized, 3 randomized, controlled studies
and meta-analyzes 2. The paper emphasizes the importance of physical activity as a measure of prevention of
cardiovascular disease. These are the current recommendations of the World Health Organization on the
preferred level of physical activity in children 5-17 years
old.
Conclusion: In many works demonstrated the inverse
relationship of physical activity and blood pressure in
adults, and in children and adolescents. The strongest
evidence exists on the impact of vigorous physical activities in the blood pressure in the pediatric population,
and this effect is most obvious in children overweight.
Although not shown in all studies, and physical activity lower intensity also brings certain benefi cial effects
on blood pressure, but also for cardiovascular health in
general.
