How is blood pressure in the body affected by exercise? A. systolic pressure increases, diastolic pressure decreases B. systolic pressure decreases, diastolic pressure remains constant C. systolic pressure increases, diastolic pressure remains constant D. systolic pressure remains constant, diastolic pressure increases Please select the best answer from the choices provided. A B C D

As an effect on the body and blood pressure, during the exercise systolic pressure increases, diastolic pressure remains constant (option C).

Explanation:

During physical exercise the demand for oxygen and glucose increases, so there are changes in vital signs.

Exercise in a healthy person increases systolic blood pressure as a result of increased heart rate and cardiac output. In contrast, diastolic blood pressure may remain stable, or decrease slightly, given the need to increase tissue perfusion.

Systolic blood pressure is the pressure of the blood vessels at the time of ventricular contraction and heartbeat.

Diastolic blood pressure is the reflection of the pressure of the blood wall when the heart is not contracting.

    The other options do not correspond to the blood pressure response to physical exercise.
