Circulatory responses to arm exercise with dzjferent arm positions. J. Appl. Physiol. 25(5): 528-532. 1968.-The circulatory response to arm exercise by nailing at bench level, into wall at head level, and into ceiling 10 cm above the head was studied in 11 subjects and compared to leg exercise. Oxygen uptake was approximately 1 liter/min for all three types of arm exercise and for 300 kpm/min on a bicycle ergometer. Heart rate, blood pressure, and lactate concentrations during arm exercise were higher for nailing into ceiling than for nailing into wall and bench. In comparison with nailing into bench, bicycle exercise at 300 kpm/min resulted in lower heart rate, blood pressure, and ventilation in relation to oxygen uptake. The diastolic blood pressure during nailing into ceiling was higher than during maximal leg exercise. The observed differences between the hemodynamic responses to arm exercise in different positions indicate an increased sympathetic vasoconstrictor tone for exercise with elevated arms. exercise during exercise with small arm exercise; and large muscle lactate production; groups; oxygen blood pressure uptake during TI - Circulatory responses to arm exercise with different arm positions JF - Journal of Applied Physiology DA - 1968-11-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/the-american-physiological-society/circulatory-responses-to-arm-exercise-with-different-arm-positions-AZIDW1qF8h VL - 25 IS - DP - DeepDyve ER -
