Physiological responses to exercise (presume you are asking about whilst doing an exercise ECG ? ) are extremely variable, and it would be very difficult to set or define an upper limit of normal BP (systolic or diastolic) during such activity.

What is probably of much more value to us is to see how quickly the blood pressure (AND the heart rate, of course) settle back to their previous resting levels once the strenuous exercise ceases !
