During aerobic exercise, systolic blood pressure (SBP) tends to decrease as the heart reduces its blood output.
During aerobic exercise, systolic blood pressure (SBP) tends to decrease as the heart reduces its blood output.
False (B)
Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) usually increases linearly with exercise intensity, mirroring the response of systolic blood pressure.
Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) usually increases linearly with exercise intensity, mirroring the response of systolic blood pressure.
False (B)
During aerobic exercise, heart rate (HR) decreases linearly with exercise intensity, decreasing by approximately 10 bpm per MET of exercise.
During aerobic exercise, heart rate (HR) decreases linearly with exercise intensity, decreasing by approximately 10 bpm per MET of exercise.
False (B)
Following a bout of aerobic exercise, a slower-than-normal heart rate recovery suggests efficient cardiovascular adaptation.

If an individual's systolic blood pressure decreases while diastolic blood pressure increases during an incremental exercise test, it indicates a normal physiological response.

Study Notes
- Normal blood pressure and heart rate responses to aerobic exercise are important to understand.
- SBP increases during exercise because the heart pumps more blood to meet the demands of working muscles.
- DBP usually remains unchanged or decreases slightly, depending on the intensity of the exercise.
- SBP increases linearly with exercise intensity, while DBP usually remains relatively stable.
- HR increases linearly with exercise intensity, typically increasing by ~10 bpm per MET of exercise.
- After exercise, HR should return to resting levels relatively quickly.

Description
Understanding normal blood pressure and heart rate responses during aerobic exercise. SBP increases with exercise intensity as the heart pumps more blood. DBP usually remains stable. HR also increases linearly, returning to resting levels post-exercise.
