Transient BP and RAA rises during peak training may warrant surveillance in runners; leaves open long-term CV risk implications.
Does intense training alter cardiovascular function and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in male long-distance runners?
Intense training in long-distance runners is associated with temporary, parallel increases in systolic blood pressure and components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
Kosunen et al. (1980) studied this question.
