A militia /mÉªËlÉªÊÉ/ is generally an army or some other fighting organization of non-professional soldiers, citizens of a nation, or subjects of a state, who can be called upon for military service during a time of need, as opposed to a professional force of regular, full-time military personnel, or historically, members of a warrior nobility class. Generally unable to hold ground against regular forces, it is common for militias to be used for aiding regular troops by skirmishing ...
The meta-analysis suggests that progressive resistance exercise has modest reductions in resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It is important to note that even small reductions in blood pressure have a beneficial effect in reducing cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality (Kelley and Kelley 2000).
As a consequence, the blood pressure usually increases by 20 to 60 mm Hg, which helps sustain the increased blood flow through skeletal muscle blood vessels. In response to sympathetic stimulation, some decrease in the blood flow through the skin can occur at the beginning of exercise. However, as the body temperature increases in response to the increased muscular activity, temperature receptors in the hypothalamus are stimulated.
