The story of the study of post-exercise hypotension

Article excerpt

In 1981, a researcher at Mount Sinai School of Medicine named William Fitzgerald noticed something strange, his blood pressure was lower after going for a jog. This anecdotal observation launched a robust investigation into this phenomenon, which would later be identified as post-exercise hypotension (PEH). One of the leaders in this field is College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources (CAHNR) researcher and Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of kinesiology Linda Pescatello.
