The goal of this project is determine how acute mild dehydration impacts blood pressure
control at rest and during static exercise. This protocol will test healthy young and older
adults in a normally hydrated and dehydrated condition.
control at rest and during static exercise. This protocol will test healthy young and older
adults in a normally hydrated and dehydrated condition.
The purpose of this project is determine how acute mild dehydration impacts blood pressure
control at rest and during static exercise. Additionally, we will determine whether or not
the sympathetic nervous system has a role in mediating blood pressure control at rest and
during static exercise. This protocol will test healthy young and older adults in a normally
hydrated and dehydrated condition. This will allow for a within participant comparison.
Additionally, we will later determine if age alters blood pressure control at rest or during
static exercise.
