Book excerpt: There were two purposes to the work of this thesis (a) to identify the role of isometric training intensity in the training-induced reductions in resting blood pressure, and (b) to identify whether the mechanism for the reduced resting blood pressure is best reflected in what can be broadly termed cardiovascular, neuromuscular or metabolic markers of that training. Firstly, in a cross-sectional study, the only strong correlation was found between heart rate variability (a cardiovascular marker) and resting blood pressure. Secondly, this cardiovascular marker was also significantly affected by a single session of isometric exercise, an effect that persisted for at least 4 hours after exercise. However, thirdly, this marker and other cardiovascular markers (such as cardiac output and stroke volume) did not correlate with reductions in blood pressure seen after 4 weeks of isometric training. Instead, the training-induced reductions in blood pressure correlated strongly with neuromuscular and metabolic markers of isometric training. The extent to which local muscle fatigue was induced during isometric training correlated with the reductions in resting blood pressure. Therefore (a) isometric training intensity appears to be of utmost importance in the reductions in resting blood pressure (when bilateral-leg exercise is performed in 2 minute bouts), and (b) the mechanism whereby the adaptations in resting blood pressure occur is best reflected in neuromuscular and metabolic markers of local muscle fatigue during that training. These findings are discussed with a particular focus on the possible role of muscle metaboreceptor stimulation, during isometric training in the mechanism of training-induced reduction in resting blood pressure.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silent myocardial ischemia is a common phenomenon in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). This may be related to findings that high BP is associated with suppression of chest pain during episodes of myocardial ischemia. Examination of the relationship between pain and cardiovascular responses during and following resistance exercise may provide insight in the phenomenon of silent ischemia. Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to examine the relationship between isometric exercise-induced muscle pain and resting blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR). Five exploratory objectives related to the effects of eccentric exercise pre- and two days post-exercise were also examined: 1. To examine differences in the strength of the relationship between isometric exercise-induced muscle pain ratings and resting BP and HR. 2. To examine the change in salivary cortisol. 3. To examine the differences in the strength of the relationship between non-exercising extension pain and resting BP and HR. 4. To examine the differences in the strength of the relationship between resting salivary cortisol and resting BP and HR. 5. To examine if the change in resting salivary cortisol was significantly correlated to the change in non-exercising extension pain. Methods: Thirty-two participated this randomized controlled trial, which included two exercise sessions. In the first session baseline measurements of blood pressure, HR, cortisol and pain ratings were taken. Tonic and phasic isometric muscle contraction tests were performed following all of the baseline measurements. After the isometric muscle contraction tests, participants (n=16) performed three sets of 12 eccentric muscle contractions. All of the measurements and isometric muscle contraction tests were completed again, two days post-eccentric exercise. Results: Isometric exercise-induced pain and resting BP and HR was not found to be significantly or negatively correlated. None of the relationships examined in the exploratory objectives were significant from pre- to posteccentric exercise. Salivary cortisol concentration did not significantly change pre- to posteccentric exercise. Conclusion: A negative relationship between exercise-induced pain and resting BP and HR was not detected, which may be due to several factors, such as the type of pain induced during exercise or the timing of the BP and HR measurement.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction. Isometric exercise training (IET) is becoming established as an effective method for reducing resting blood pressure (RBP); however, the effect of different exercise intensities on RBP is not well understood. IET protocol development will allow for implementation of the most effective IET programs for reducing RBP. The primary purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two different leg isometric exercise intensities on RBP and heart rate (HR). A secondary aim of this study was to establish an IET intensity threshold at which a significant reduction in RBP occurs. Methods. Thirty-five participants were recruited for this study and randomly selected to the control, high intensity (Tl), or low intensity (T2) training group for three weeks. The participants performed four sets of two minute bi-lateral isometric exercise bouts, three days per week. RBP (mean ± SE) was measured prior to training each session. Results. The T2 group showed significant reductions from pre- to post-training of -3.6 ± 1.03 mmHg in systolic blood pressure, -4.0 ± 0.99 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure, and -3.9 ± 0.99 mmHg in mean arterial pressure. HR was reduced significantly in the T2 training group (-1.33 ± 1.06 bpm, P=0.045). These variables did not show any significant reductions in the control or the Tl groups. Conclusions. These findings show that RBP can be significantly reduced after performing bi-lateral leg isometric exercise training at 30% EMGpeak, but not at 20% EMGpeak. Therefore, the IET intensity threshold lies between 20 and 30% EMGpeak.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of isokinetic exercise on heart rate and blood pressure at three different speeds of movement and to determine if an isokinetic interval program had a cumulative effect on heart rate and blood pressure. In addition, the quadriceps and hamstring muscle groups were tested isometrically on the Cybex II isokinetic apparatus. The effects of isometric exercise on heart rate and blood pressure were observed and compared with the results found in previous studies. The data was analyzed using a one-way, two-way, and three-way analysis of variance on repeated measures, and Tukey and Scheffe Tests. Within the confines of the study, the null hypothesis was rejected at the .001 level of confidence for isokinetic exercise at all three speeds used - thirty degrees per second, ninety degrees per second, and 150 degrees per second. The data showed that heart rate increased with both isometric and isokinetic exercise and the increase was larger for isokinetic exercise. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure rose with isometric exercise while systolic blood pressure rose and diastolic blood pressure fell with isokinetic exercise. The increase in systolic blood pressure was greater with isokinetic exercise than with isometric exercise. Modified tension time index, and pulse pressure were higher during isokinetic exercise than during isometric exercise. Mean blood pressure was higher during isometric exercise.

Book excerpt: "Arterial blood pressure may decrease below pre-exercise resting levels immediately after both aerobic and dynamic resistance exercise. This response is known as post-exercise hypotension (PEH). The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the blood pressure responses to isometric and dynamic handgrip exercise through two hours following exercise in pre-hypertensive subjects. The isometric protocol consisted of 3 sets of sustained isometric handgrip with the non-dominant arm for 3 minutes at 30% MVC. The dynamic resistance handgrip exercise protocol consisted of 3 sets of 45 rhythmic contractions at 60% MVC with the non-dominant arm for 3 minutes. Neither isometric nor dynamic handgrip exercise significantly lowered post-exercise systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure compared to the control condition."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
