Accumulation of physical activity reduces blood pressure in pre-and hypertension

Article Abstract:

An attempt is made to investigate the magnitude and duration of ambulatory blood pressure reduction after one day of lifestyle physical activity in normotensive, prehypertensive, and hypertensive adults and to determine the relationship between the energy expenditure and the blood pressure reduction. It is observed that one day of lifestyle physical activity would reduce ambulatory blood pressure in prehypertensive and hypertensive adults.

Individual interdependence between nocturnal ANS activity and performance in swimmers

Article Abstract:

The variations in autonomic nervous system activity (ANS) and variations in performances correlated at the group level in swimmers are studied to investigate the strength of that relationship at the individual level. The decrease in ANS activity during intensive training is correlated with the loss in performance, and the rebound in ANS activity during tapering tracks with the gain in performance.

Activity levels and body mass index of children in the United States, Sweden, and Australia

Article Abstract:

Research reveals that among the children 6-12 year old, the American children tend to be the least active and overweight with the highest rate to body mass index increase. The Swedish children are the most active followed by the Australian children. Data indicate that children from the latter two countries maintain lower body mass index thoughout their prepubescent years.
