Why did my blood pressure and pulse decrease after exercise?
Good question. Exercise does many things to your body, one of which is to dilate the blood vessels to allow more blood to flow to supply oxygen to the muscles. After exercise they blood vessels do not contract as quickly, so your blood pressure drops and your heart does not have to beat as fast to pump the same amount of blood. Fun figures, average male resting heart rate in the UK is around 70-72 beats per minute. a club cyclist ( touring or racing) will be around 40, the lowest recorded when I last looked was Miguel Indurain of Spain at 28. The smaller you are the faster your heart will beat, a mouse may achieve 500 beats per minute, an elephant oops forgotten, but it was really low.
