Gravitational load, sex, and age-sex effects on cardiovascular compensatory responses during sit-to-stand and lie-to-stand transitions

Dihogo Gama de Matos, Jefferson Lima de Santana, Felipe J. Aidar, Stephen M. Cornish et autres

We show that the type of active standing maneuver alters short-term cardiovascular regulation. Rising from supine (lie-to-stand) produces larger blood pressure drops and amplifies age-related impairments in cardiovascular compensatory responses compared with sit-to-stand. Older adults rely more on stroke volume and show …
