Why the study?
Does high fitness level alter the aortic baroreflex control of heart rate during hypertensive stimuli in healthy young men compared to average fitness?
Population
14 healthy young men, divided into average fitness and high fitness groups based on maximal oxygen uptake.
Comparison
High fitness level vs Average fitness level
Design
Cross-sectional

High fitness linked to lower aortic baroreflex gain should not change practice; hypothesis-generating for autonomic adaptations in young men.
Does high fitness level alter the aortic baroreflex control of heart rate during hypertensive stimuli in healthy young men compared to average fitness?
High fitness levels in healthy young men are associated with reduced sensitivity of aortic baroreflex control of heart rate during steady-state increases in mean arterial pressure.
