[Physical work capacity as an independent risk factor for the development of arterial hypertension]

Whether an independent relationship exists between muscular performance (MP) and arterial pressure (AP) was investigated in subjects with normal AP, borderline AP and arterial hypertension using different variants of the parameters distribution and link (maximal, minimal MP, normal AP, borderline AP, hypertension with sex and age ranges 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69). It was found that: AP significantly increases with MP lowering, age is not a key factor in relations between MP and AP, MP is an independent factor of the hypertension risk, the risk of hypertension declines with growing MP.
