Hemodynamic responses during handgrip support baroreflex mechanism studies; leaves open translation to patients with cardiovascular disease.
Does static handgrip alter regional blood volume, blood flow, and baroreflex regulation in healthy subjects?
The exercise pressor reflex during static handgrip is associated with reduced baroreflex cardiovagal regulation and is driven by increased cardiac output related to enhanced preload, cardiac contractility, and splanchnic blood mobilization.
Stewart et al. (2006) studied this question.
