Dear Martin, thank you for your help. Enough informative publications. Are there publications on changes in blood pressure and, in particular, pulse pressure during exercise?

Yours faithfully and best regards.

Article Influence of single bout of aerobic exercise on aortic pulse pressure

Dear Martin, thanks.

Dear Martin. These publications do not give a clear answer to the question.I understand that there are practically no publications on the change in the pulse pressure in the dynamics of physical exertion.

Sincerely.

Alexander Romanchuk

A schematic answer.

In healty people during alternate contraction, for instance running or cycling, in other words endurance exercise, systolic could go up to 180/200 mmhg, while diatolic doesn't change very much, it can increase a little bit or sometime goes down.

During isometric contraction or resistance training, both Sistolic and diastolic can increase very much. Over 200/250 systolic and over 130/140 or more diastolic.

Dear Philip. If you have links to the data that you specify? How was blood pressure measured during exercise and what were the values of pulse pressure?

Yours faithfully

Alexander Romanchuk

One complication to this discussion is that heart rate, and possibly other aspects of cardio adjustment to exercise, is initially and throughout exercise is A FEEDFORWARD system, although once exercise commences, there is obviously feedback too via various sensory transducers. The feedforward component, once exercise starts, is that some proportion of neural outflow from the CNS, that recruits muscle fibres on the fly, is forwarded via the Vagus to the heart. This makes it more complex to analyse as a system response, compared to those systems that are entirely (or almost so) feedback controlled. 

Dear Donald! I agree with you. However, just important is the adjustment of the circulatory system, which determines the adaptation of the body to physical activity. It is different, but it can play a significant role in predicting the possibilities of the organism.

Sincerely.

Alexander Romanchuk.

Dear Alexander,

MacDougall et al. had a series of studies back in the 80's measuring invasive brachial arterial pressure during a bout of double leg press exercise. They don't explicitly report pulse pressure, but there are some very high quality traces to give you an estimate. Below is a link to the main paper, but check out the rest of their series as well.

Dear Jason. Thank you very much for an interesting study.

Best regards.
