The purpose of this study is to examine frequency (%) of occurrence of borderline hypertension through changes in 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure by exercise habits and make comparative analysis of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (systolic and diastolic pressure), the mean arterial pressure, the heart rate, and DP by time slots in middle-aged staff of 40 years old and over belonging to the normal blood pressure group in order to provide basic data for systematic and scientific exercise prescription. 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure was measured by TM2430 (A&D, Japan) automatically every 30 minutes from 07:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. for daytime blood pressure and every one hour from 10:00 p.m. to 07:00 a.m. the next day for nighttime blood pressure. The results was as follow:
1) As for differences in 24-hour time by exercise habits, the exercise habit group showed the significantly lower heart rate in 22:00 p.m, 01:00 a.m and significantly lower DP in 01:00 a.m. 2) As for differences in daytime and nighttime by exercise habits, the exercise habit group showed the significantly lower heart rate and DP in the daytime and significantly lower ambulatory blood pressure and DP in the nighttime. 3) As for differences in frequency (%) of occurrence of borderline hypertension by exercise habits, there was no significant difference; the exercise habit group was at the lower level than the non-exercise habit group, with both showing over 15%.
