Foreword
During bouts of acute exercise, blood pressure rises. Paradoxically, high levels of chronic physical activity and aerobic exercise training can prevent some of the ageassociated rise in blood pressure seen in many normal humans, and exercise training can also lower blood pressure in those with hypertension. The rise in blood pressure with acute exercise is driven via neural signals known as central command acting in concert with baroreceptor resetting and feedback from skeletal muscle afferents. Together, these signals reduce the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system and increase the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. These adjustments cause the increase in heart rate and ultimately cardiac output, and also vasoconstriction in many vascular beds. The targets of these neural adjustments also offer clues about the long-protective effects of physical activity and exercise training on blood pressure. Likewise th
