I wonder why the article does not mention the diet of the doctor/runner. I bet that it was low-fat/high carbs.

It is well known that exercise increases systolic blood pressure. Why were the researchers surprized?

From the AHA web site:

Quote:
In dynamic exercise, oxygen consumption and heart rate increase in relation to the intensity of the activity. Systolic blood pressure rises progressively, while diastolic blood pressure stays the same or decreases slightly.
This seems to describe the 'problem' that the researchers found.

I also wonder what drugs the doctor/runner was taking. Lots of physicians take statins because they are convinced that it prevents heart problems.
