Abstract EN

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in pressor response and cardiovagal modulation during isometric handgrip exercise (IHG) between children and adults.

Beat-to-beat heart rate (HR) and blood pressure were measured in 23 prepubertal children and 23 adults at baseline and during IHG.

Cardiovagal modulation was quantified by analysis of HR variability.

Mean arterial pressure responses to IHG were greater in adults compared to children (P<.05) whereas there were no group differences in HR responses (P>.05).

Children had a greater reduction in cardiovagal modulation in response to IHG compared to adults (P<.05).

Changes in mean arterial pressure during IHG were correlated with baseline cardiovagal modulation and force produced during isometric contraction (P<.05).

In conclusion, differences in pressor reflex response between children and adults cannot be solely explained by differences in autonomic modulation and appear to be associated with factors contributing to the force produced during isometric contraction.
