Abstract:The aim of this study was to test the hypotheses that, in humans, cardiac output (CO) and total peripheral vascular resistance (TPR) responses to isometric exercise vary among individuals, and that the individual differences are related to the muscle metaboreflex and the arterial baroreflex functions. Healthy subjects (n = 32) performed 1‐min isometric handgrip exercise (HG) at 50% of maximal voluntary contraction, followed by a 4‐min period of post‐exercise muscle ischemia (PEMI) to selectively maintain activ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
