Yes your blood pressure will decrease for a couple of different reasons: The first is that your blood vessels have dilated to provide muscles with an increase in oxygenated blood and the surface (peripheral blood vessels) will dilate to increase the rate of heat loss from the body. Over a sustained period of exercise (months) the blood vessels will become more elastic, decreasing the pressure on the vessel walls and more importantly on the left ventricle of the heart. There will be a similar decrease in your resting heart rate. Overall your cardiovascular system will become "younger".

Why is my systolic blood pressure elevated for a long time after exercise?
why not?
Is jogging good for blood pressure?

After exercise how long before your blood pressure returns to normal?
After exercise, blood pressure returns to your normal resting rate after 10 minutes or more. A significant drop in blood pressure after stopping exercising may indicate that you have an underlying heart condition.
Is taking a bath after exercise safe?
Of course. You regularly need to clean your body after exercise. But don't stay in to long; hot water can raise blood pressure.

How does a lower resting heart rate occurs?
A lowering resting heart rate occurs when the stress to pump blood quickly (i.e: cardiovascular exercise) has ceased, and the red blood cells' demand for oxygen has returned to what was previously normal.A good way of checking one's fitness is calculating how long it takes your heart rate to return to normal. The faster it goes back to normal, the fitter you are.
What happens to resting diastolic blood pressure as an adaptation to regular aerobic exercise over a long period of time?
moderate aerobic exercise will , over time, reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It will also reduce heart rate at rest, reduce body weight, which reduces mild hypertension. Hope this helped !!
How long does blood pressure return to normal after exercise?
It's a process called homeostasis. The body cannot tolerate very long periods of increased blood pressure without damaging major organs. After the body realizes that the demands that have been brought upon it (exercise) is over, it is in its best interest to revert back to "normal" blood pressure parameters.
Why do you collapse after standing for long periods?
When you stand for a long time, it may cause your knees to buckle resulting in a vaso-vagal reaction. When this happens, there is a decrease in blood pressure which can make a person collapse or faint.
Explain how do chronic adaptations differ from acute responses to aerobic exercise?
acute response is straight away effects of exercise, immediately after or even during the exercise. Chronic response are long term effects, such as after 3 months etc. E.G. continuous aerobic exercise will lower blood pressure after few weeks.
