Abstract
EDITORIAL article Front. Physiol., 26 August 2013Sec. Exercise Physiology https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2013.00224
Highlights
During exercise, appropriate cardiovascular, and hemodynamic adjustments are necessary to meet the metabolic demands of active skeletal muscle
Central command, the exercise pressor reflex (EPR; a feed-back mechanism originating in skeletal muscle), the arterial baroreflex, and the cardiopulmonary baroreflex are all known to contribute to the neural cardiovascular adjustments to physical activity
An important advancement is the growing understanding of impairments in EPR function accompanying the development of cardiovascular disease
Summary
Appropriate cardiovascular, and hemodynamic adjustments are necessary to meet the metabolic demands of active skeletal muscle. Several neural mechanisms working in concert are responsible for regulating this autonomic activity and through complex interactions, control the cardiovascular and hemodynamic changes in an intensity-dependent manner.
