Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Workload, and the Blood Pressure Response to Exercise Testing
Martin G. Schultz, Andre La Gerche, James E. Sharman
Abstract
We propose that for correct clinical interpretation of exaggerated exercise blood pressure (EEBP), both cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise workload must be considered. A key recommendation toward achieving the correct clinical interpretation of EEBP is that exercise BP should be measured during submaximal exercise with a fixed external workload.
