Regulation of Heart Rate and Blood Pressure During Exercise in Humans

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Investigation into regulation of heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) is addressed under the phrase "neural control of the circulation during exercise." In this chapter, regulation of HR and BP is reviewed both during static and dynamic exercise. An effort is made to evaluate the importance of the central nervous system (central command) versus influence from the exercising muscles (the exercise pressor reflex). The need to obtain more flow-related variables is also emphasized.
