Background: To explore the acute effects of submaximal exercise on blood rheology and sympathetic nerve activity. Methods and Results: The effects of exercise (20 or 80 Watts (W)) on blood rheology and sympathetic nerve activity were assessed in 10 healthy Japanese men. Blood sampling and heart rate...
