Studies in youth show an association between systolic blood pressure (SBP) reactivity to acute psychological stress and carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT). Submaximal exercise produces similar cardiovascular responses as acute psychological stress and may be a valuable tool to assess SBP reactivity in youth. However, it has not yet been determined whether SBP reactivity during submaximal exercise in youth is associated with CIMT, as it is during psychological stress.
