- How does blood pressure respond when an individual moves from a
supine to a standing position? What causes this response? What is
the name of this phenomenon?
- Describe the typical systolic and diastolic blood pressure
responses to exercise of increasing intensity.
- Describe the four general indications for stopping an exercise
test.
- Explain the typical changes in blood pressure and cardiac
output following intense exercise. Why do these changes make it
necessary to perform a cooldown period after intense exercise?
- Describe the reasons that blood pressure increases dramatically
during isometric muscle contractions.
- What factors can influence blood pressure readings? How can we
control the environment to help ensure that our blood pressure
readings are accurate?
