Highlights autonomic matching during exercise; leaves open relative roles of central command versus peripheral feedback in clinical settings.
Highlights foundational 1970-1971 Oxford studies demonstrating that both peripheral muscle reflexes and central motor commands regulate cardiovascular responses during exercise.
Jere H. Mitchell (2011) conducted a review in Neural control of circulation during exercise. Central command and skeletal muscle reflexes was evaluated on Blood pressure and heart rate response. Central motor commands and reflexes from contracting skeletal muscle both contribute to increasing blood pressure and heart rate during exercise.
