Cardiovascular drift during prolonged exercise: new perspectives

Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2001 Apr;29(2):88-92. doi: 10.1097/00003677-200104000-00009.

Abstract

We propose that cardiovascular drift, characterized by a progressive decline in stroke volume after 10-20 min of exercise, is primarily due to increased heart rate rather tahn a progressive increase in cutaneous blood flow as body temperature rises.
