slowly decreasing heart rate after exercise is shown in the third chapter and facilitated by cool-down exercise. Chapter four addresses that a biphasic change in heart rate at the onset of light exercise, occurs from rest in upright, but not in a supine posture. The book then highlights postexercise regulation of the cardiovascular system between inactive and active recovery from moderate cycle exercise in an upright and a supine position in the fifth chapter. Chapter six demonstrates the differences in bloodflow velocity in the femoral artery measured by Doppler ultrasound velocimetry between inactive, passive, and active recovery. The book finally presents the Doppler measurement of blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery at rest and during cycle exercise and compares measurements between men and women. This publication aims for a broad audience that includes medical students and residents, graduate students in the medical sciences, kinesiology, biomedical engineering, and sports medicine, specialists in aerospace medicine and gravitational physiology, cardiologists, and any physician or medical professional with an interest in human cardiovascular function. . |
