Should not alter pediatric exercise testing or screening; leaves open prospective links to hypertension risk.
Do black children aged 4 to 6 years exhibit greater blood pressure increases in response to dynamic exercise than white children?
Black children as young as 4 to 6 years old show greater systolic blood pressure increases in response to dynamic exercise compared to white children, suggesting early physiological differences that may relate to essential hypertension risk.
