TLDR
The effects of psychological stress and the Valsalva maneuver on short-term variations of intraocular pressure (IOP) were studied in 49 healthy adults and regular physical exercise was associated with less IOP increase during psychological stress.

A sick eye in a sick body? Systemic findings in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

TL;DR: Systemic peculiarities found in POAG include alterations of the cardiovascular system, autonomic nervous system, immune system, as well as endocrinological, psychological, and sleep disturbances.

Effects of Exercise on Intraocular Pressure and Ocular Blood Flow: A Review

TL;DR: In conclusion exercise in glaucoma patients results in acutely lowered intraocular pressure (IOP) and lower baseline IOP and the effects of exercise on the prevention of glAUcoma andglaucomatous progression remain unknown.

Long-Term Physiologic Changes of Intraocular Pressure: A 10-year longitudinal analysis in young and middle-aged Japanese men

TL;DR: The long-term observation clearly demonstrated that, in normal eyes, the IOP decreased with aging, and was negatively associated with spherical power and positively with esophoria, blood pressure, heart rate, and hematocrit.

Intraocular pressure increases in parallel with systemic blood pressure during isometric exercise.

TL;DR: Systemic blood pressure, heart rate, and IOP increased continuously, as long as the isometric exercise persisted, in parallel to the increase in systemic blood pressure.

Valsalva manoeuver, intra‐ocular pressure, cerebrospinal fluid pressure, optic disc topography: Beijing intracranial and intra‐ocular pressure study

TL;DR: To assess whether a Valsalva manoeuver influences intra‐ocular pressure (IOP), cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSF‐P) and, by a change in the trans‐laminar cribrosa pressure difference, optic nerve head morphology.

Sources of error with use of Goldmann-type tonometers

TL;DR: Measurements obtained with Goldmann-type tonometers can be used with confidence to monitor changes in the intraocular pressure of an individual, but should not be relied on to determine the absolute manometric pressure within an eye or to compare the IOPs in eyes of different individuals.

A simple test of cardiac function based upon the heart rate changes induced by the valsalva maneuver

TL;DR: Measurement of the changes in heart rate induced by the Valsalva maneuver provides a rapid, safe and inexpensive method of evaluating cardiac function, and permits the prediction of certain hemodynamic variables without subjecting patients to cardiac catheterization.

Cardiovascular Reactivity and Stress: Patterns of Physiological Response

TL;DR: This book presents a meta-modelling framework for estimating Reactivity in the Laboratory and discusses the role of cortisol, adrenaline, and other hormones in the regulation of Reactivity and its role in disease progression.
Journal Article

The Valsalva maneuver: mechanisms and clinical implications.

TL;DR: Heart rate and total peripheral resistance continue to be increased during the immediate poststrain period, and the ejection of an increased stroke volume into a constricted arterial system produces a rapid and marked increase in arterial pressure--the phase IV overshoot with its subsequent slowing of heart rate.
