MUSCULAR PERFORMANCE RELATIONSHIP WITH AR TERIAL-PRESSURE AND HYPERTENSION RISK-FACTORS

A multivariate regression analysis including muscular performance, art erial pressure, age, heart rate, body-weight index permitted identific ation of independent relations between pressure and muscular performan ce. The latter accounts for 3 % variability in initial systolic pressu re in females and for 3 % variability in males under physical loading. Initial systolic pressure accounts for 5 % variability of muscular pe rformance in females. The dependence between muscular performance and diastolic pressure is indirect, noticeable only in physical load with the help of double product.
