High-intensity exercise, such as running at 85% max heart rate for 30 minutes, 5 days/week, leads to positive health metric shifts, including lowered blood pressure after the exercise bout, compared to inactivity.

“you would expect that that group compared to a group that did nothing would experience significantly greater shifts in positive Health metrics like lowered blood pressure certainly not during the exercise bout during the exercise bout you can bet that their blood pressure and heart rate went way way up but that of course afterwards they would adapt to that exercise by having a resting heart rate that was lower than any group that did nothing or that walked on a treadmill”
