Isometric handgrip may raise plasma adrenaline; leaves open arm-specific clearance effects in hypertension.
Does isometric exercise (handgrip) alter plasma noradrenaline and adrenaline levels in hypertensive and normotensive subjects?
Isometric exercise induces a significant increase in plasma adrenaline, with differences between resting and exercising arms suggesting local variations in tissue clearance.
Watson et al. (1980) studied this question.
