BP = C.O. x P.R.[p. 843]•Baroreceptor-mediatedregulation of B.P. is altered;precise mechanism(s) unclear--∆ baroreceptor setpoint--afferent signals from baroreceptors blocked at level of spinal cord--override of signals from baroreceptors by other factors, e.g. H+ Mean arterialpressureAnticipatory “feedforward” responses [p. 843]•Start of exertion triggers ventilatory/CV increases even before see changes in pO2, pCO2, other blood metabolites•Probably due to reflexes beginning with stretch receptors in working muscle tissueTemperature regulation in exercise [pp. 843-44]•↑↑ heat generation due to increased metabolic rateRegulatory response to increased core temperature•↑ sweating to promote evaporative cooling – sweat is hypotonic, salt loss can be further decreased with acclimization•↑ blood flow to skin to transfer heat from core to periphery•As duration of exercise ↑, must replace fluids lost or risk heat strokeMetabolic system biased toward storage of energy during times of energy abundance for use during times of scarcityAdvent of agriculture ~ 8000 B.C.E. led to significant decreasein energy expenditure required to obtain foodExercise and HealthBeneficial effects of exercise [pp. 844-46]•↓ rates of all-cause mortality, CV disease, hypertension, stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, breast & colon cancer, depression and accidental falling•Rates of moderate-vigorous activity > 150 min/wk (minimum WHO recommendations) associated with higher life expectancy•Training improves endothelial function (e.g. prevents age-assoc- iated decrease in endothelial-dependent vasodilation)•↓ B.P., ↓ plasma TG, LDL, ↑ plasma HDL recall criteria for metabolic syndrome (slide # 21, 4/23)•↑ IN sensitivity, ↑ IN-independent glucose usage•↓ age-induced autonomic dysfunctionSkeletal muscle as an endocrine organ—exercise stimulatesrelease of myokines which may mediate many of the beneficialeffects of physical activityExercise-induced adipose tissue browning through PGC-1α and irisin.
