Blood pressure results directly from two parameters, cardiac output and total peripheral resistance. Classically, there are two types of exercise, aerobic or dynamic activities, or bodybuilding or static activities. However, most physical activity involves a mix of both. Aerobic activities is the most studied and recommended activity for health (for example, walking, jogging, cycling or swimming), generally at constant load, light intensity, moderate or intense.

Increasing cardiac output increases systolic pressure, while peripheral vasodilatation helps maintain or reduce diastolic pressure, which is observed during aerobic exercise efforts.
