Non-linear effect of physical activity intervention on blood pressure in children and adolescents: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The noticeable increase in the prevalence of elevated blood pressure (BP) among children and adolescents has been a public health concern. Although physical activity (PA) intervention has been widely applied in children BP controlling programs, the effectiveness of PA intervention in adolescents over 12, the dose-response relationship between PA intervention and BP and the optimal dose of exercise required for BP lowering are all remained unclear. Current systemic review and meta-analysis aimed to offer a comprehensive evaluation of the evidence linking PA intervention to BP reduction in children and adolescents.

Methods

According to PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines, we searched PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE Complete, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library up to Jul 22, 20
