Exercise and the Cardiovascular System

(a) Describe the effect of exercise on both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure: (5 marks)

You have two subject's who have both undertaken an exercise training program. One subject brings you her training log and you notice that her blood pressure is constantly increasing (both systolically and diastolically) during exercise, while the second subject shows a moderate increase in systolic blood pressure and little or no change in diastolic blood pressure during exercise. Assuming both subjects are healthy with no cardiac or circulatory problems, explain to me why both subjects are experiencing normal responses to exercise.

How does altitude affect blood pressure?
I know in high altitudes the pressure is lower, oxygen concentration is lower. If less oxygen enters the blood through the lungs, shouldn’t the blood pressure drop? Many researches say the opposite, that is, an increase in both systolic and diastolic pressure
