Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science in Exercise and Health Studies, Miami University, Exercise and Health Studies.
The purposes of this investigation were to determine if proxies for muscle fiber composition and anthropometric measurements can predict systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), pulse pressure(PP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP). We studied 370 Division I Male and Female Athletes from various sports. Multiple regressions were run to predict blood pressure from anthropometric variables and proxies for fiber type. SBP included Neck circumference, Arm span, and MaxVi (.663;43.4%); DBP included BMI, Arm Length, and Neck Circumference (.298;8.9%); PP included peak force, height, MaxVi, and Neck Circumference (.639;40.2%); and MAP included BMI and Neck Circumference (.458;20.5%). Blood pressure exists on a normal curve, and because natural characteristics like fiber type and anthropometric-characteristics affect blood pressure, their influence on normal homeostatic blood pressure should be considered in the determination of pathology from normal physiology and the evaluation of treatment options.
