Variations in Observed Park Physical Activity Intensity Level by Gender, Race, and Age: Individual and Joint Effects.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The acute effect of low-intensity walking on blood pressure (BP) is unclear. PURPOSE:To determine if the acute use of a walking workstation reduces ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in prehypertensive men and women. METHODS:Ten prehypertensive adults participated in a randomized, cross-over study that includ...
