Key result
Incremental pedalling exercise increased systolic blood pressure in healthy young men, with mean values rising from 143.9 mmHg at 100 bpm to 189.7 mmHg at 160 bpm, before plateauing at 175 bpm.

How does systolic blood pressure respond to incremental pedalling exercise in healthy young men?
Systolic blood pressure increases with heart rate during incremental pedalling exercise but plateaus around a heart rate of 175 bpm in healthy young men, likely due to baroreceptor inhibition.
Obara et al. (1997) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=32). Incremental pedalling exercise was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure response at different heart rates. Incremental pedalling exercise increased systolic blood pressure in healthy young men, with mean values rising from 143.9 mmHg at 100 bpm to 189.7 mmHg at 160 bpm, before plateauing at 175 bpm.
