Why the study?
Does isometric handgrip training reduce resting or ambulatory blood pressure or improve heart rate variability in medicated hypertensive patients with well-controlled blood pressure?
Does isometric handgrip training reduce resting or ambulatory blood pressure or improve heart rate variability in medicated hypertensive patients with well-controlled blood pressure?
Isometric handgrip training does not provide additional blood pressure lowering or heart rate variability benefits in hypertensive patients whose blood pressure is already well-controlled with medication.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
IHG training adds no benefit in well-controlled medicated hypertension; leaves open its role in uncontrolled patients or other populations.
Stiller-Moldovan et al. (2012) studied this question.
