Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different stretching protocols, with and without the Valsalva maneuver, affect blood pressure and heart rate in young men with poor flexibility.
- Fifteen healthy men aged 21 to 29 performed passive hip flexion stretches in a controlled setting, measuring their hemodynamic responses before, during, and after exercises.
- Results showed that stretching raised blood pressure and heart rate, with the Valsalva maneuver leading to even greater increases in these responses and overall cardiac work during the exercises.
