Determination of Metaboreflex with the Innovative Dumbbell-Flexor System
Abstract
The study started from the hypothesis that the exercises performed with the innovative dumbbell-flexor device applying for less the cardiovascular system than forearm flexion made with ordinary dumbbell (even with much lower resistance), due to lower isometric component of muscle contraction. Evaluation of heart rate and blood pressure in 13 healthy volunteers showed that the hypothesis is confirmed for the first physiological constants. Applications could be the use of the device for kinetotherapy of hypertension and arteriopathies.
