| Description | The systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure do not differ in the Karate-practitioners (KP) compared with the sedentary men (S) but the inter-beat-interval and the baroreflex sensitivity in the (KP) are higher than in the (S). These results support the concept that habitual vigorous Karate exercise does modulate the baroreflex regulation of blood pressure to produce normal haemodynamics during rest in healthy subjects accompanied by increasing parasympathetic activity, all of which is recommended for the well-being of anyone. |
