Key result
Treadmill exercise significantly reduced immediate post-exercise pulse transit time compared to baseline (p < 0.001), which returned to original levels by 9 minutes and baseline by 60 minutes.
Why the study?
How do blood pressure and pulse transit time recover during the 60 minutes following treadmill exercise in healthy subjects?
Observational (n=12)
How do blood pressure and pulse transit time recover during the 60 minutes following treadmill exercise in healthy subjects?
p-value: p=<0.001
Following a 4-minute treadmill run, brachial blood pressure normalizes within 5 minutes, while pulse transit time and finger blood pressure take up to 9 minutes to return to baseline in healthy subjects.

Post-exercise PTT recovery may lag BP normalization in healthy subjects; leaves open validation for vascular monitoring in patients.
Teng et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Healthy and normotensive (n=12). Treadmill exercise vs. Pre-exercise baseline was evaluated on Recoverability trend of blood pressure and pulse transit time (p=<0.001). Treadmill exercise significantly reduced immediate post-exercise pulse transit time compared to baseline (p < 0.001), which returned to original levels by 9 minutes and baseline by 60 minutes.
