Relationships between Blood Pressures at Resting State and Anaerobic Threshold Point

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between systolic pressures (SBP) at rest and at AT point determined by HSBP, and also between both diastolic pressures (DBP). These results may be useful for the exercise prescription. Thirty subjects aged 19 - 79 years with a BMI of 21.8+ or -2.3 kg/m2, underwent a graded cycle ergometer test. The point of the abrupt increase in AHS1 was determined from visual inspection. SBP was determined at the point of the first appearance of vessel sounds, while DBP at disappearance of the sounds at rest, and at Swan's fourth point during exercise. The relationship between resting and AT point SBPs was significant, and also the relationship between both DBPs was significant. At AT point, four subjects whose resting SBP was over 130mmHg showed over 200mmHg of SBP.
