May aid detection of abnormal exercise SBP responses in youth; leaves open whether percentiles enhance risk prediction or guide interventions.
This study provides reference percentiles for exercise-induced changes in systolic blood pressure in healthy children and adolescents, aiding in the detection of abnormal responses.
