This study examined the influence of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise in reducing cardiovascular reactivity to a subsequent stressor compared to a nonexercise attention control condition in 16 males (<u>m</u> age = 21 yrs; moderate activity level; positive family history for hypertension) using a within subject design.

Forty-five minutes after the exercise or attention control sessions, BP, HR, stroke volume (SV) and total peripheral resistance (TPR) were measured at baseline, during a pre-stressor anticipation period, and during the cold pressor test. stroke volume was measured with impedance cardiography and total peripheral resistance (TPR) was estimated.
