ResumeIn order to assess factors contributing to stress reactivity of blood pressure 66 adolescents (25 boys and 41 girles) form 14 to 17 yrs (15,2+0,1 yrs) were examined. Test with oral calculation, psychological (questionnaires of Bass-Darky, Kettle, Spielberg) as well as force of skeletal muscles and were assessed. Hyperreaction of blood pressure (BP) was observed in 27% of adolescents, normal reaction - in 47% cases, low reactivity - in 26%. In hyperreactive subjects lower parameters of skeletal muscle force were documented. Psychological discrepancies were insignificant between the groups. The BP raise during mental stress correlated with muscle force, body weight, baseline BP level and mental development. The data obtained can indicate that reducing stress reactivity can be important instrument in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases in psychogenic rest groups.
