Abstract

The increase in the frequency of hypertension in youths has brought physical activity as a potentially effective non-pharmacological therapy into focus. The aim of the work is to analyze the changes in blood pressure in youths during physical activity as well as determine the importance of physical activity in youths with hypertension, with particular reference to the potential role of parents. Research shows that lowering blood pressure early in life has a positive effect on blood pressure in adulthood. The impact on the energy metabolism of youths, through a change in the ratio of physical activity and sedentary behavior, can be achieved during working days through various programs in the kindergarten or school. On weekends, it is up to parents to stimulate behavior that improves childrenʼs health. Special education of parents is a way to reduce the growing tendency of inactivity among youths. Creating and nurturing young peopleʼs habits for physical activity, reserving parents’ time for the child's physical activity, and sharing knowledge about physical activity with the child are some of the possible ways to increase overall physical activity at an early age.
