AB Preventive measures are a priority in those groups that perform intense physical effortswithout physical preparation and that can also be overweight or obese. One of the groups that reflectthese characteristics is the costaleros of the HolyWeek of Andalusia, Spain. This paper aims to describethe effect of obesity on blood pressure. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 101costaleros. The anthropometric measures were determined through segmental impedance. Cardiacrecovery and anaerobic power were measured through the Ruffier–Dickson test and the Abalakov test,respectively. Blood pressure was measured when the individuals were at rest. The Kruskal–Wallis testwas applied for of continuous parameters and the X2 test for dichotomous measures. Binary logisticregression models were used for the subsequent analysis with R-square and Receiver OperatingCharacteristic (ROC) curves. The average population was 28 years of age, 173.7 cm tall, and 82.59 Kgweigh. The excess of body fat was 11.27 Kg and Body Mass Index was 27.33 Kg/m2. 72.3% showedabnormal blood pressure and 68.2% were overweight. 32.7% had a waist-hip ratio higher than 0.94.The probability of presenting abnormal blood pressure was higher among the subjects whose fatcontent was higher and muscle content was lower.
