Selected cardiovascular parameters at rest and during moderate-intensity cycling in young and older subjects

	Rest		Exercise
	Young	Older	Young	Older
Systolic BP, mmHg*†	116 ± 3	116 ± 4	167 ± 4	179 ± 6
Diastolic BP, mmHg†	65 ± 2	75 ± 2	63 ± 2	77 ± 2
Mean BP, mmHg*†	81 ± 2	89 ± 3	98 ± 2	111 ± 2
Pulse pressure, mmHg*†	51 ± 3	40 ± 2	103 ± 5	102 ± 6
HR, beats/min*†‡	59 ± 2	61 ± 3	125 ± 2	109 ± 3

Values are means ± SE. BP, blood pressure;

^*P < 0.05, main effect of condition;

^†P < 0.05, main effect of group;

^‡P < 0.05, interaction between condition and group.
