Effects of isometric handgrip protocol on blood pressure and neurocardiac modulationP J Millar
Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Int J Sports Med 32:174-80. 2011..05), compared to sham. In conclusion, recovery responses from rhythmic IHG appear independent of contraction and/or rest period frequency-duration relationships. Investigation of rhythmic IHG protocols warrants further examination...
Effects of autonomic blockade on nonlinear heart rate dynamicsPhilip J Millar
Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON, L8S 4K1, Canada
Clin Auton Res 20:241-7. 2010..The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of autonomic blockade in SCI and able-bodied participants...
Heart rate variability and nonlinear analysis of heart rate dynamics following single and multiple Wingate boutsPhilip J Millar
Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada
Appl Physiol Nutr Metab 34:875-83. 2009..Based on the results of the single Wingate test, nonlinear measures, such as HR complexity, may be more sensitive in detecting subtle alterations in neurocardiac behaviour, compared with traditional measures of HR variability...
Cardiovascular reactivity to psychophysiological stressors: association with hypotensive effects of isometric handgrip trainingPhilip J Millar
Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Blood Press Monit 14:190-5. 2009..Isometric handgrip (IHG) training has been found to have hypotensive effects in normotensive and hypertensive samples. Mechanisms responsible for the reductions in arterial blood pressure have been suggested, but remain equivocal...
Isometric handgrip exercise improves acute neurocardiac regulationPhilip J Millar
Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, 1280 Main St W, Hamilton, ON L8S 4K1, Canada
Eur J Appl Physiol 107:509-15. 2009..This may be mechanistically linked to the observed reductions in ABP seen in previous IHG training studies. Alternatively, these acute effects may have clinical applications and require further investigation...
Effects of short-term training on heart rate dynamics in individuals with spinal cord injuryPhilip J Millar
Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, 1280 Main Street W, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Auton Neurosci 150:116-21. 2009..54+/-0.06 to 0.26+/-0.05, p=0.001). In conclusion, 4 weeks of BWSTT but not HUTT training are sufficient to increase sample entropy and reduce the fractal scaling distance score in participants with SCI...
The hypotensive effects of isometric handgrip training using an inexpensive spring handgrip training devicePhilip J Millar
Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
J Cardiopulm Rehabil Prev 28:203-7. 2008..These studies have relied on the use of programmable digital handgrips for training. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of simple, inexpensive spring-loaded handgrip devices in producing hypotensive effects...
Effects of isometric handgrip training among people medicated for hypertension: a multilevel analysisPhilip J Millar
Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Blood Press Monit 12:307-14. 2007..To examine the longitudinal effects of isometric handgrip (IHG) exercise training on blood pressure using hierarchical linear modeling...
Acute vascular responses to isometric handgrip exercise and effects of training in persons medicated for hypertensionCheri L McGowan
Dept. of Kinesiology, McMaster Univ, 1280 Main St, West, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 291:H1797-802. 2006....
Effect of acute sprint interval exercise on central and peripheral artery distensibility in young healthy malesMark Rakobowchuk
Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada
Eur J Appl Physiol 105:787-95. 2009..06). These results indicate that extremely high intensity exercise transiently increases central artery stiffness, while metabolite induced vasodilation reduces peripheral stiffness in exercised limbs well into recovery...
