Aerobic Exercise
for Post-Exercise Hypotension
The goal of this study is to learn about how blood vessel dilation after exercise effects pulse wave reflection and influences the function of the heart in healthy young adults. The main question it aims to answer is: Are post-exercise decreases in reflected pulse waves due to a decrease in the stiffness of large arteries in the leg or an increase in leg blood flow? Participants will exercise on a stationary bicycle at a moderate intensity for 1 hour during two laboratory visits. Participants will take oral antihistamines to block post-exercise dilation at one visit, and they will take placebo pills at the other visit. At both visits, leg blood flow, pulse wave velocity, and heart function will be measured before exercise and for 120-minutes after exercise.

High Sodium Diet
for Hypernatremia
High sodium diets impair vascular function, which may influence the work of the heart. This investigation is designed to determine if this change in vascular function results in a greater workload in the heart and if people who regularly exercise are protected from these effects.
