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

Introduction

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.
