Why the study?
Does forearm elevation augment sympathetic activation during static handgrip exercise in healthy male volunteers?
Does forearm elevation augment sympathetic activation during static handgrip exercise in healthy male volunteers?
Forearm elevation during handgrip exercise significantly augments sympathetic activation, likely mediated by increased activation of the muscle metaboreflex, providing a physiological basis for angina pectoris occurring during prolonged forearm elevation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Forearm elevation may heighten sympathetic drive during handgrip; hypothesis-generating for exertional angina and requires patient studies.
Michikami et al. (2002) studied this question.
