ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to identify the time for young adults to reach resting blood pressure after walking as measured by an automatic and a mercury sphygmomanometer.METHODS:
Participants were 33 nursing students in their 20s. Blood pressure after walking was measured every minute on both arms simultaneously for a total of 6 times after walking for 12 minutes on a treadmill at ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) of 11. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, Bland-Altman plots and repeated measures ANOVA.RESULTS:
Systolic blood pressure after walking was the same as measurements corresponding to resting blood pressure after 3 minutes of resting if measured with the automatic sphygmomanometer and 4 minutes of resting if measured with the mercury sphygmomanometer.CONCLUSIONS:
In order to measure the resting blood pressure for healthy young adults who performed low-density walking for 12 minutes on flat land, the measurement needs to be made after a resting time of at least 3 minutes in the case of an automatic sphygmomanometer and 4 minutes in the case of a mercury sphygmomanometer.
