研究顯示 高強度運動可幫助青少年降低血壓

Participating in high-intensity exercise can help teenagers drive down blood pressure, which may lead to a lower risk of developing heart disease later in life, according to a new study released by the University of Exeter.

埃克塞特大學發佈的一項新研究顯示，參加高強度運動可以幫助青少年降低血壓，這可能會降低日後患心臟病的風險。

To find out the correlation between heart disease and exercise, researchers at the Children's Health and Exercise Research Center at the University of Exeter, recruited healthy male teenagers, most of whom are 13 to 15 years old.

爲了瞭解心臟病和運動之間的關係，埃克塞特大學兒童健康和運動研究中心的研究人員招募了健康的男性青少年，其中大部分年齡在13至15歲之間。

They underwent testing on four separate occasions across three weeks.

他們在三週內分別進行了四次測試。

The results show that teenagers who participate in high-intensity exercise have lower blood pressure.

結果表明，參加高強度運動的青少年血壓較低。

The fall in blood pressure of healthy teenagers may have a long-term clinical importance if translated to those with high blood pressure, as previously reported in adults.

健康青少年的血壓下降，如果轉化爲以前成人報道的高血壓，可能具有長期的臨牀重要性。

Similarly, the blood pressure reducing effects of the exercise could lead to better blood pressure control, particularly when young people face stressful situations, according to the study.

同樣，根據這項研究，運動的降血壓效果可以導致更好的血壓控制，特別是當年輕人面臨壓力的時候。

However, the study has some limitation, and benefits of high-intensity exercise need confirmation with further research, as the effects of exercise training on the control of blood pressure following exercise in teenagers remain to be seen, the researchers said.

但是，研究人員表示，這項研究有一定的侷限性，高強度運動的好處需要進一步研究來證實，因爲運動訓練對青少年運動後血壓控制的效果還有待觀察。
