Summary

Cardiovascular diseases represent the first mortality cause in the world. Ageing is considered as the most prominent risk factor for this kind of diseases. Also, hypertension represents one of the modifiable risk factors. Blood pressure response to exercise is governed by three systems: central command, baroreflex, and a feedback mechanism originating in the skeletal muscle. An abnormal cardiovascular response to exercise facilitates the occurrence of cardiovascular events. The goal of the study is to characterize the cardiovascular response in lifelong trained individuals and explore the potential benefits of endurance and strength training on cardiovascular regulation to exercise onset.
