We sought to examine the influence of exercise intensity on carotid baroreflex (CBR) control of heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at the onset of exercise in humans. To accomplish this, eight subjects performed multiple 1-min bouts of isometric handgrip (HG) exercise at 15, 30, 45 and 60% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), while breathing to a metronome set at eupneic frequency. Neck suction (NS) of -60 Torr was applied for 5 s at end expiration to stimulate the CBR at rest, at the onset of HG (< 1 s), and after similar to 40 s of HG. Beat-to-beat measurements of HR and MAP were recorded throughout. Cardiac responses to NS at onset of 15% (-12 +/- 2 beats/min) and 30% (-10 +/- 2 beats/min) MVC HG were similar to rest (-10 +/- 1 beats/min). However, HR responses to NS were reduced at the onset of 45% and 60% MVC HG (-6 +/- 2 and -4 +/- 1 beats/min, respectively; P < 0.001). In contrast to HR, MAP responses to NS were not different from rest at exercise onset. Furthermore, both HR and MAP responses to NS applied at similar to 40s of HG were similar to rest. In summary, CBR control of HR was transiently blunted at the immediate onset of high-intensity HG, whereas MAP responses were preserved demonstrating differential baroreflex control of HR and blood pressure at exercise onset. Collectively, these results suggest that carotid-cardiac baroreflex control is dynamically modulated throughout isometric exercise in humans, whereas carotid baroreflex regulation of blood pressure is well-maintained.
