Key result
Cardiovascular responses to exercise, including changes in heart rate, stroke volume, and peripheral blood flow, depend on the type, severity, and muscles involved in the exercise stress.
This review outlines the normal physiological cardiovascular responses to different types of exercise stress.
Supports exercise-specific monitoring in rehab; extends normal physiology but leaves open validation in disease.
Exercise can be sustained only if there is increased blood flow to those tissues with increased metabolic needs. Blood flow to particular working muscles can be increased either by increasing cardiac output or by redirecting peripheral blood flow. The nature and extent of changes in cardiovascular function that occur during exercise are dependent on the type of exercise, the muscles involved, and the severity of the exercise stress. The normal range of changes in heart rate, stroke volume, and patterns of peripheral blood flow are discussed in relation to different types of exercise stress.

Elizabeth H Littell (1981) conducted a review in Exercise physiology. Exercise was evaluated. Cardiovascular responses to exercise, including changes in heart rate, stroke volume, and peripheral blood flow, depend on the type, severity, and muscles involved in the exercise stress.
