exercise at stage 2
A
decrease RHR, exercise HR, CO
less stressful activities
13
Q
Mechanisms of bp reduction during exercise 4
A
- Lower CO and peripheral resistance
- Reduction in blood catecholamine levels and plasma renin activity
- Reduction in central fat distribution
- altered renal function leading to reduced fluid volume
