Abstract:Background: Activities of daily living consists of isometric & isotonic contraction. Isometric contraction is a static contraction that exerts pressure overload on the heart. Studies have been carried out demonstrating hemodynamic effects of isotonic exercises however limited studies are available on myocardial load with isometric exercises. Aims and Objectives: To study the myocardial load at 30% and 50% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) in individuals with active and sedentary lifestyle. … Show more
