Background: Throughout the day, your blood pressure changes depending on your everyday activities. Regularly elevated blood pressure readings could be an indication of high blood pressure. We examined the variations in the hemodynamic response to handgrip contraction between age groups and hypertension exercise stages.

Objective: The objective of my study is to access the hemodynamic response of hand grip contraction in hypertensive patients.

Method: A systematic experiment using repeated measurements. The patients were told to contract the grasp of their dominant hand to the maximum voluntary force. Prior to the removal of hand pressure, blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and heart rate (HR) responses were assessed. Additionally, it should be noted that the HR and BP responses were assessed 1, 3, and 5 minutes after the pre-value was recorded.

Result: Patients with pre-HT and stage 1 HT observed a significant enhancement in their systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate following a handgrip contraction training session (p < 0.05 for all comparisons); however, stage 2 HT patients did not improve (p > 0.05 for all comparisons). HT stage 2 did not significantly improve despite variable response analysis results and some sessions demonstrating blood pressure rises.

Conclusion: After conducting handgrip contraction exercises with a dynamometer, patients with pre-HT and stage 1 HT have decreased blood pressure. The BP and HR responses are still inconsistent in stage 2 of HT and intermittently rise.
