Abstract
Abstract: The kidneys’ integrative responses to exercise helps in the cardiovascular control, thermoregulation, water and electrolyte regulation, The aim of this study is to review current literatures to understand how the kidney and the circulatory system respond to moderate and intensive exercise, literature search was carried out on Googlescholar with results limited to 5 year old studies and revisions. Studies regarding the effects of renal and cardiovascular responses to exercise were investigated. Outcomes regarding heart rate(HR), blood pressure(BP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), Serum Creatinine (sCr) and Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) and the effects of each these outcome were analyzed, A total of 12 studies were considered, and groups were also stratified according to renal and cardiovascular responses to moderate and intense exercises. Findings suggest that there were moderate increase in heart rate, blood pressure except for subject with circulatory condition who had marked decrease in diastolic pressure to improve both systemic and central arterial stiffness. Also increase in kidney flow and glomerular filtration to compensate for different levels of hydration and dehydration, the review also highlights the lack of sufficient research work on kidney functions on different forms of exercise.
