Summary

Story summary

Recent studies show that peak blood pressure during cardiopulmonary exercise testing can predict future hypertension.
Reference standards for peak exercise blood pressure are established from national databases.
Age- and gender-specific responses indicate that high exercise blood pressure may predict hypertension, particularly among young athletes.
The consensus statement from Exercise and Sports Science Australia recommends using exercise blood pressure measurements to identify uncontrolled hypertension.
