Abstract
The diastolic blood pressure response to rhythmic dynamic handgrip exercise under ischemic conditions was demonstrated to be correlated with insulin resistance-related factors in nondiabetic older adults. This finding provides important insight to the prescription of exercise in this particular patient population as the blood pressure response to exercise, especially under ischemic conditions, could be exaggerated to nonsafe levels.
