Document Summary

Chapter 10 cardiovascular adaptions to aerobic training. Vascular remodeling and enhanced vasodilatory capacity result in reduced vascular resistance. Regular aerobic exercise provides a cardio-protective effect, resulting in improved coronary blood flow, reduced platelet activation and aggregation and increase fibrinolysis. Aerobic exercise training produces small, yet significant decreases in resting systolic pressure (in normotensive individuals) Increases are roughly 4 mmhg reduce risk for future hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Aerobic training also alters exercise blood pressure. At a given absolute workload, sbp, dbp, and mean arterial pressure (map) are all lower posttraining. Aerobic training results in a slight increase in sbp and a slight decrease in. Dbp at maximal exercise, such that map is unchanged. Mean arterial pressure is the product of cardiac output and vascular resistance (map = q x tpr [total peripheral resistance] The lower vascular resistance and unchanged q (cardiac output) at rest explain the slight decrease in resting arterial pressure following endurance training.
