EXERCISE AND BLOOD PRESSURE STUDY
Researchers at the Department of Exercise Science within the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto are conducting a pilot study investigating blood pressure responses to handgrip exercise.
Participants will be required to:
➔ Attend 3 visits to the Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport (100 Devonshire Place) at the University of Toronto within a time span of one month, each lasting approximately 70 minutes
➔ Complete a 4 hour fast, a 4 hour abstinence from caffeine and a 24 hour abstinence from consumption of any alcohol or strenuous exercise prior to each session
We are looking for healthy men of ages 45-65 and healthy post-menopausal women (at least 1 year) ages 45-65 who are ‘sedentary’ (no intense exercise, no more than 2 times a week of aerobic or resistance exercise), free from chronic disease and non-smokers for the past six months.
