Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the association of physical fitness with longterm Blood Pressure Variability (BPV) in young male adults. Methods: 1,112 healthy military males, aged 18-40 years (mean age, 32 years), in Taiwan were included for the current analysis. Resting blood pressures were measured over the right upper arm in a sitting position every two years from 2012 to 2018 (2012-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-18). Long-term BPV by Standard Deviation (SDSBP and SDDBP) and Average Real Variability (ARVSBP and ARVDBP) were assessed across 4 visits during the study period. Aerobic fitness was evaluated by the time taken for a 3000-meter run test, and anaerobic fitness was evaluated by the number of 2-minute sit-ups and 2-minute push-ups. Results: After adjusting the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the time for a 3000-meter run was associated with ARVSBP, SDSBP, and SDDBP (β [SE]: 0.007 [0.002], 0.004 [0.002], and 0.005 [0.002], respectively, all p <0.05) but not with ARVDBP. In addition, the number of 2-minute sit-ups was inversely associated with ARVSBP (β [SE]: -0.041 [0.017], p =0.01) but not with ARVDBP, SDSBP, and SDDBP. There was no association of the number of 2-minute push-ups with the BPV indexes. After additionally adjusting the age, body mass index, and other covariates, all the associations were found to be not significant. Conclusion: It was found that there was no association of physical fitness with long-term BPV in young male military personnel. Previous studies have shown no association with cardiorespiratory fitness in the elderly. This study further increased the knowledge of a null association between anaerobic fitness and long-term BPV.

Abstract Background Motion sickness susceptibility questionnaire (MSSQ) has been widely used for assessing individual differences in motion sickness. The present study tried to investigate its efficacy for predicting seasickness susceptible (SUS) and insusceptible (INSUS) subjects among Chinese military personnel. Methods Two cohorts of young male army volunteers were exposed to real ship motion (n=125) and laboratory vertical oscillation motion (n=77). Predictive ability of the MSSQ and its vomiting (MSV) and nausea (MSN) subscales (including child and adult subitems) was examined via analyzing area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) with seasickness susceptibility defined by Graybiel score or nausea latency. Results Higher Graybiel scores and lower percentage of INSUS subjects was observed in the ship motion trial than the vertical oscillation trial. MSSQ and its subscales positively correlated with the Graybiel score in both trials. The MSN child showed no predictive ability for the INSUS subjects, leading to lower AUC of the MSN than the MSSQ and the MSV for INSUS prediction in ship motion (0.587 vs. 0.647 and 0.644, P < 0.01) and vertical oscillation trial (0.696 vs. 0.761 and 0.788, P < 0.01 and 0.05) when seasickness susceptibility was defined by Graybiel score. Lower AUC in the MSN than the MSSQ (0.691 vs. 0.758, P < 0.05 and 0.01) was observed due to invalidity of MSN child when susceptibility was defined by nausea latency in the vertical oscillation trial. The prediction ability of SUS did not differ among the MSSQ and its subscales in both trials. Relative to the ship motion trial, the vertical oscillation trial showed higher predictive efficacy of the MSSQ for the Graybiel score-defined SUS subjects (0.840 vs. 0.686, P < 0.05) as a result of higher AUC in both the MSV (0.840 vs. 0.690, P < 0.05) and the MSN (0.806 vs. 0.651, P < 0.01). Conclusions The MSSQ was effective for predicting seasickness susceptibility in young male Chinese military members, but the efficacy varies with motion intensity and complexity and the vomiting scale should be recommended for application.
