AB  - The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between blood pressure 
      (BP) levels and physical activity (PA) domains accounting for overweight/obesity. 
      Adolescents aged 10 to 17 years old were recruited (n = 1021). International 
      Obesity Task Force (IOTF) criteria were used to define overweight and obesity. 
      High BP was defined using the Center of Disease Control and Prevention criteria. 
      Different domains of PA (school activities, sport out of school, and leisure time 
      PA) were assessed using a validated questionnaire. The prevalence of 
      overweight/obesity was 21.9% for boys and 14.8% for girls. Some 13.4% of boys and 
      10.2% of girls, respectively, had high blood pressure (HBP). A strong and 
      positive association was found between overweight and HBP. After adjustment for 
      body mass index (BMI), total PA was inversely associated with BP. When all PA 
      domains were entered simultaneously in a regression model, and after adjustment 
      for BMI, only sport out of school was significantly and inversely associated with 
      systolic BP [beta: -0.82 (-1.50; -0.13)]. These findings open avenue for the early 
      prevention of HBP by the prevention of obesity and promotion of PA.
