Circulatory responses of both heart rate and blood pressure shift during modality, intensity, and frequency of the exercise being performed due to two major physiological reasons. The first reason is in regards to skeletal muscle blood flow. The metabolic demands of the muscles being contracted during exercise must be matched by blood flow (Joyner & Casey, 2015). The second regulating factor is systemic control of arterial pressure. The pressure needs to adequately perfuse to all of the other organs in the body (Joyner & Casey, 2015).
