Association between physical activity and prehypertension / high blood pressure in adolescents

Hypertension is a major public health problem. If no action is taken, 1.56 billion adults will be diagnosed with this pathology by 2025. Even a brief period of hypertension at a young age increases the risk of hypertension in adulthood. Preventive intervention targeting modifiable risk factors is a viable route to better prevention, and the practice of physical activity has long been recognized as an effective means of preventing hypertension in adults.
