Key result
Physical activity at a walking level had a positive effect on systolic blood pressure, overestimating daytime SBP by approximately 10 mmHg compared to resting values.

Does physical activity influence ambulatory blood pressure measurements in healthy individuals and patients with hypertension or diabetes?
Physical activity during ambulatory blood pressure monitoring overestimates resting daytime systolic blood pressure by approximately 10 mmHg, highlighting the need to account for activity levels.
Hayashi et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Healthy (n=67). Physical activity vs. Rest (ACT = 0) was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (SBP). Physical activity at a walking level had a positive effect on systolic blood pressure, overestimating daytime SBP by approximately 10 mmHg compared to resting values.
