Acute physiological responses during exercise, such as elevated heart rate and stress hormones, drive long-term adaptations for lower resting blood pressure and inflammation.

“if we were to measure um heart rate blood pressure um stress hormones and inflammation in a human being during exercise it would look as if they were ready to die blood pressure would be high inflammation is through the roof but all of that is setting in motion and AD adaptation or set of adaptations that allow blood pressure to be lower at rest that allow um inflammation markers to be lower at rest”
