    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...

    Philip 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...
