Why the study?
Does passive stretch of muscle mechanoreceptors reduce R-R interval in healthy human volunteers?
Does passive stretch of muscle mechanoreceptors reduce R-R interval in healthy human volunteers?
Activation of muscle mechanoreceptors by passive stretch selectively inhibits cardiac vagal tone to produce tachycardia in humans.

Highlights vagal inhibition by muscle stretch in healthy subjects; hypothesis-generating for autonomic responses in clinical populations.
Gladwell et al. (2005) studied this question.
