Resetting of the carotid arterial baroreflex during dynamic exercise in humans

Recent investigations have demonstrated that at the onset of low-to-moderate-intensity leg cycling exercise (L) the carotid baroreflex (CBR) was classically reset in direct relation to the intensity of exercise. On the basis of these data, we proposed that the CBR would also be classically reset at the onset of moderate- to maximal-intensity L exercise. Therefore, CBR stimulus-response relationships were compared in seven male volunteers by using the neck pressure-neck suction technique during dynamic exercise that ranged in intensity from 50 to 100% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max). L exercise alone was performed at 50 and 75% VO2 max, and L exercise combined with arm (A) exercise (L + A) was performed at 75 and 100% VO2 max. O2 consumption and heart rate (HR) increased in direct relation with the increases in exercise intensity. The threshold and saturation pressures of the carotid-cardiac reflex at 100% VO2 max were >75% VO2 max, which were in turn >50% VO2 max (P < 0.05), without a change in the maximal reflex gain (Gmax). In addition, the HR response value at threshold and saturation at 75% VO2 max was >50% VO2 max (P < 0.05) and 100% VO2 max was >75% VO2 max (P < 0.07). Similar changes were observed for the carotid-vasomotor reflex. In addition, as exercise intensity increased, the operating point (the prestimulus blood pressure) of the CBR was significantly relocated further from the centering point (Gmax) of the stimulus-response curve and was at threshold during 100% VO2 max. These findings identify the continuous classic rightward and upward resetting of the CBR, without a change in Gmax, during increases in dynamic exercise intensity to maximal effort.
