Physical exercise exerts a significant influence on the cardiovascular system, particularly on vascular pulse
activity. The pulse represents rhythmic oscillations of arterial walls generated by the ejection of blood from the heart
during systole. During exercise, pulse rate, amplitude, and pressure undergo dynamic modifications to satisfy the
increased metabolic demands of active muscles. These adaptive responses are regulated by the autonomic nervous
system, hormonal activity, and vascular elasticity. This article examines the physiological mechanisms underlying pulse
variations during exercise, the effects of exercise intensity and duration on vascular response, and the restoration of
pulse parameters during recovery. The tables summarize pulse indicators and regulatory factors under different exercise
conditions.
