Participating in high-intensity exercise can help teenagers drive down blood pressure, which may lead to a lower risk of developing heart disease later in life, according to a new study released by the University of Exeter.

　　埃克塞特大学发布的一项新研究显示，参加高强度运动可以帮助青少年降低血压，这可能会降低日后患心脏病的风险。

　　To find out the correlation between heart disease and exercise, researchers at the Children’s Health and Exercise Research Center at the University of Exeter, recruited healthy male teenagers, most of whom are 13 to 15 years old. They underwent testing on four separate occasions across three weeks.

　　为了了解心脏病和运动之间的关系，埃克塞特大学儿童健康和运动研究中心的研究人员招募了健康的男性青少年，其中大部分年龄在13至15岁之间。他们在三周内分别进行了四次测试。

　　The results show that teenagers who participate in high-intensity exercise have lower blood pressure.

　　结果表明，参加高强度运动的青少年血压较低。

　　The fall in blood pressure of healthy teenagers may have a long-term clinical importance if translated to those with high blood pressure, as previously reported in adults.

　　健康青少年的血压下降，如果转化为以前成人报道的高血压，可能具有长期的临床重要性。

　　Similarly, the blood pressure reducing effects of the exercise could lead to better blood pressure control, particularly when young people face stressful situations, according to the study.

　　同样，根据这项研究，运动的降血压效果可以导致更好的血压控制，特别是当年轻人面临压力的时候。

　　However, the study has some limitation, and benefits of high-intensity exercise need confirmation with further research, as the effects of exercise training on the control of blood pressure following exercise in teenagers remain to be seen, the researchers said.

　　但是，研究人员说，这项研究有一定的局限性，高强度运动的好处需要进一步研究来证实，因为运动训练对青少年运动后血压控制的效果还有待观察。
