Supports age-stratified norms for post-exercise hemodynamics; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does age affect heart rate and blood pressure responses to tilting and standardized exercise in ambulatory men?
Older individuals exhibit slower and less complete compensatory heart rate and blood pressure responses to orthostatic stress and exercise compared to younger individuals, which should be factored into metabolic recovery assessments.
Norris et al. (1953) studied this question.
