Cardiovascular handgrip responses during treadmill exercise: randomized pilot trial.

Background: The isometric exercise performed using the handgrip (HG) acutely promotes elevation of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and in a non-consensual manner among articles elevation or maintenance of heart rate (HR). Currently, although there is a vast literature on the hemodynamic effects of interval training and isometric exercise with HG alone, there is still no consistent evidence of such adjustments occurring in the association between the two. Therefore, the objective of this study was to describe the acute hemodynamic responses found only during interval training and when combined with isometric contraction with HG.
