Episode notes
Grip strength training through isometric contractions has been shown to reduce resting blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. By squeezing and holding, the muscles restrict blood flow, causing a temporary spike in blood pressure. Over time, this consistent challenge prompts the body to make blood vessels more pliable, leading to a decrease in resting blood pressure as the vessels become more open. The body's adaptation to these short, intense disturbances leads to a reduction in resting blood pressure, demonstrating a positive physiological response to grip strength training.
