Why the study?
Does the mass of contracting muscle (large vs small) affect systolic blood pressure responses during sustained isometric contractions at 40% MVC?
Population
Subjects performing voluntary contractions of upper extremity muscles
Comparison
Sustained isometric contractions of handgrip… vs Sustained isometric contractions of index finger…

Systolic blood pressure responses during isometric contractions depend on the mass of the contracting muscle, challenging older theories that only % MVC determines the pressor response.
