The impact of aerobic exercise on acute cardiovascular function may be modulated by the dose and type of exercise. Acutely, dose is the product of exercise intensity and time, whereas exercise type may refer to common aerobic modalities like cycling, running, swimming, or rowing. Each modality is unique for its medium of completion as well as the implications on blood flow arising from the position of active muscle mass relative to heart level. The purpose of this review was to address how an acute exercise dose influences cardiovascular function between prominent aerobic exercise modalities in healthy individuals. Across all modalities, all doses may transiently reduce both left and right ventricular systolic and diastolic function as well as both macro- and microvascular function. However, accurately quantifying and comparing exercise dose across the literature is challenging due to methodologic differences in exercise prescription and the cardiovascular demands imposed by differing modalities of exercise. Furthermore, the potential confounding influence of cardiovascular drift alongside variations in age, the composition of cohorts with respect to biological sex, and timing of cardiovascular measures further complicates interpretation. Future work should focus on exercise intensity prescription according to modality-specific physiologic thresholds to provide comparable doses. This approach may serve to standardize the physiologic stimulus and allow for objective assessments to be compared with confidence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9555,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Cardiology","volume":"41 3","pages":"Pages 398-411"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142852929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CV adaptations to exercise occur through structural, functional, and molecular changes that enhance cardiac efficiency.

In this review we explore how CV adaptations vary across different demographic characteristics, and highlight the importance of exercise timing, intensity, and recovery periods. We delve into the immediate physiological responses to physical activity, such as increased heart rate and cardiac output, and the longer-term adaptations, including cardiac hypertrophy and improved vascular function. The influence of age, sex, and preexisting health conditions on CV responses to exercise is also discussed, emphasizing the need for tailored exercise interventions. Finally, the review highlights the significance of recovery periods in optimizing CV adaptations and how insufficient recovery might lead to adverse outcomes.

The review concludes with an examination of the potential beneficial effects of PA on mitigating the detrimental effects of SB and an analysis of evidence that supports the use of break-up strategies in preventive cardiology. This analysis sheds light on the significant deleterious consequences of SB on CV health. It highlights the potential of incorporating strategies to reduce and interrupt prolonged sitting alongside existing guidelines that promote PA. These findings suggest considering SB as a major CV risk factor, and emphasize the importance of targeting SB reduction and interruption as a valuable approach for preventing and managing CV disease.
