The association between physical fitness and blood pressure was studied in 2061 children selected from all fourth graders in 44 elementary schools in the New York City area. Their blood pressure and physical fitness were measured on two consecutive examinations 1 year apart. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were highest in children with poor physical fitness. The change in physical fitness between the 2 examination years was related to the change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (i.e., children with a decline in physical fitness showed the largest rise in blood pressure). These observations suggest that the level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in children is associated with the level of physical fitness. They also indicate that change in blood pressure in childhood may be related to change in physical fitness.
在从纽约市地区44所小学的所有四年级学生中选取的2061名儿童中，研究了身体素质与血压之间的关联。在相隔1年的两次连续检查中测量了他们的血压和身体素质。身体素质差的儿童收缩压和舒张压最高。两次检查年份之间身体素质的变化与收缩压和舒张压的变化相关（即，身体素质下降的儿童血压上升幅度最大）。这些观察结果表明，儿童收缩压和舒张压水平与身体素质水平相关。它们还表明，儿童期血压变化可能与身体素质变化有关。
