Acute exercise may reduce arterial pressure and sympathetic tone in hypertensive rat models; leaves open human translation and sex-specific effects.
Does acute exercise alter cardiac autonomic tonus differently based on gender and hypertension status in rats?
Acute exercise reduces arterial pressure and sympathetic tonus in hypertensive rats, with cardiac autonomic regulation influenced by both gender and resting blood pressure.
Chandler et al. (1998) studied this question.
