Blood pressure increases during excercise because the heart rate increases to allow more blood to get to the working muscles. However: Moderate exercise, i.e. walking, has benefits for people suffering high blood pressure. Research has shown that walking several times a week for at least half an hour can help lower high blood pressure. It is best to avoid continued strenuous exercise, however - high BP causes greater strain on the arteries, and in strenuous exercise, one is making one's heart work harder.

∙ 11y agoWhen a body is in motion, blood pressure tends to "change". This "change" is the result of the heart "changing" it's rhythmic pattern forcing a "change" in the volume of blood in the vessels, hence a "change" in blood pressure. This question cannot possibly be asked. To ask why is to not know what blood pressure is.

What happens to your blood pressure when you exercise?
Exertion will cause blood pressure to elevate. Biking makes my blood pressure drop ( afterwards )
What happens to resting diastolic blood pressure as an adaptation to regular exercise?
Diastolic blood pressure is when the heart is refilling with blood after pumped oxygenated blood to the working muscles; this is the relaxation phase. An adaptation to regular cardiovascular exercise is an increase in the hearts efficiency in doing this. Therefore, as an adaptation to exercise, diastolic blood pressure either decreases slightly or doesn't change. This is because the heart has longer to refill the atrium so it isn't under as much pressure.
How is your blood pressure affected with exercise?
After exercise, your blood pressure will raise. Why? Because exercise raises your heart rate and heart rate raises blood pressure. I did this experiment on my Science Fair Project so im pretty sure about my answer. Hope I helped though :]
What response should blood pressure have to an acute bout of exercise?
It should increase high blood pressure
Is exercise effective in reducing blood pressure?
Yes
Why does diastolic blood pressure decrease during exercise?
Diastolic pressure remains constant or less than normal regardless of exercise intensity due to decreased peripheral resistance as increased metabolism will cause vasodilatation so decrease resistance due toABP = COP X Peripheral resistance
