Effects of isometric handgrip training in patients with cardiovascular disease: rationale and design of the ISOPRESS network

Abstract

Brazil that aim to understand the effects, applicability and mechanisms of isometric handgrip exercise. For this, we will analyze the effects of isometric handgrip training on different populations (hypertensive, peripheral artery disease patients and obstructive sleep apnea patients) and contexts (ie clinical, unsupervised and laboratory). Thus, the aim of this study was to describe the rationale and design behind the ISOPRESS network, presenting the methods employed. Methods Rationale The ISOPRESS network was developed to analyze the effects of isometric handgrip training on cardiovascular variables in

Supervised, but Not Home-Based, Isometric Training Improves Brachial and Central Blood Pressure in Medicated Hypertensive Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…This randomized controlled trial was registered with the www.clinicaltrials.gov database under the registration number NCT02348138 and is part of the ISOPRESS network ( Farah et al, 2017b ). The study procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Board in compliance with the Brazilian National Research Ethics System Guidelines.…”
