Abstract

When faced with stress, living things respond to stress within their current state and try to adapt to the new situation. Our body responds to the stress caused by exercise with adaptations in the circulatory system, respiratory system, musculoskeletal system, renal system, and endocrine system. Depending on the type, duration, intensity, frequency, and the current capacity of the person, both immediate and long-term changes occur in the circulatory system to rebalance. Understanding the effect of exercise on the circulatory system will guide the assessment and exercise program planning in patients, healthy individuals, or elite athletes. In this chapter, the anatomy and physiology of the circulatory system, the acute and chronic effects of exercise on the circulatory system, the factors affecting exercise adaptation, and the side effects that may occur during exercise in patients with pathologies affecting the circulation and their management will be discussed.
