Why the study?
How does upright bicycle exercise affect plasma noradrenaline, heart rate, and blood pressure in normotensive and hypertensive patients?
How does upright bicycle exercise affect plasma noradrenaline, heart rate, and blood pressure in normotensive and hypertensive patients?
Plasma noradrenaline continues to increase immediately after stopping upright exercise, suggesting a reflex increase in sympathetic activity.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Post-exercise noradrenaline peak despite falling BP/HR may indicate sympathetic reflex; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Watson et al. (1980) studied this question.
