NPTE: Blood Pressure exam question and answers with best graded solutions A+ rating.

systolic blood pressure - Answer- the pressure created when the heart contracts and forces blood out into the arteries (force exerted during the ejection cycle) diastolic blood pressure - Answer- Pressure in the arteries when the heart relaxes and ventricles fill with blood At what SBP and DBP should an exercise session be terminated? - Answer- SBP greater than or equal to 210 mm Hg, DBP greater than or equal to 110 mm Hg pulse pressure (PP) - Answer- SBP-DBP, Increases in direct proportion to the intensity of exercise since SBP increases with exercise and DBP tends to stay the same. It is normal to see a 40-50 mm Hg change in SBP with intense exercise SBP in the arms versus legs - Answer- It is normal for the SBP in the legs to be 10-20% higher than the pressure in the arms. This is why in some cases an ankle brachial index value of greater than 1.0 is still considered normal. BP readings that are higher in the arms are abnormal and may indicate peripheral vascular disease During what type of weight training is the BP response higher: concentric and eccentric
