As with any excercise, the sympathetic system will be in dominance, thus causing positive ionotropic, chronotropic, and dromotropic effects on the heart, all of which of course help increases blood pressure (esp. systolic). Furthermore, sympathetic activation of arterioles causes more resistance in the blood vessels, and thus an even higher blood pressure (esp. diastolic). How does this all happen in the first place? Your muscles are releasing more CO2 and consuming more oxygen, and from here you can see my response to another question: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=370493. I think that briefly sums up what you are asking. |
