What response should blood pressure have to an acute bout of exercise?
During Acute Exercise (Dynamic Phase)
- Systolic (SBP) - Typically increases moderately.
---
- Diastolic (DBP) - Decreases.
---
Immediately Post-Exercise (1 - 5 minutes) - Recovery Phase
- SBP and DBP - Decrease below resting levels and remain reduced for hours post-exercise, sometimes referred to as "post-exercise hypotension**
Post Blood Pressure Response Variations:
- Responses vary widely between individuals as there are large inter-individual variations for post-exercise hypotension
- Younger individuals show a more prolonged response
- Larger blood pressure drop seen with low resistance (cycling for instance) vs high resistance exercise (weight lifting for instance)
