title: Peripheral vascular circulation in trained athletes.
abstract: Modifications in the neurogenic control are important in cardiovascular adaptation to physical training. To examine the influence of such variations on arterial blood pressure, heart rate and limb blood flow the Authors have studied the reaction to cardiovascular stress tests of soccer players and sedentary controls. No difference was found in the blood flow response between athletes and sedentary subjects. However, the tests inducing sympathetic activation determined blood pressure response of different intensity, possibly related to the differences in the autonomic nervous system control.
