Abstract
This study demonstrated that wave reflection magnitude is increased while reflected wave transit time is decreased during handgrip exercise in healthy young adults. The larger backward pressure waves and earlier return of these pressure waves were not different between dynamic and isometric handgrip exercise. These acute changes in wave reflection during handgrip exercise transiently augment pulsatile load.
