Key result
Insulin sensitivity correlated with physical fitness (r=0.58, P=0.002), and exercise systolic blood pressure correlated with minimal forearm vascular resistance (r=0.46, P=0.015) in young men.
Why the study?
Is insulin sensitivity related to physical fitness, and is exercise blood pressure related to structural vascular properties in young men with elevated blood pressure?
Cross-Sectional (n=27)

Effect estimate: r=0.58
p-value: p=0.002
In young men with elevated blood pressure, insulin sensitivity correlates with physical fitness, and exercise blood pressure correlates with peripheral structural vascular changes.

May support fitness to improve insulin sensitivity in young men with elevated BP; hypothesis-generating for vascular effects, needs prospective trials.
Fossum et al. (1999) conducted a cross-sectional in Elevated blood pressure (n=27). Insulin sensitivity correlated with physical fitness (r=0.58, P=0.002), and exercise systolic blood pressure correlated with minimal forearm vascular resistance (r=0.46, P=0.015) in young men.
