conducting a pilot study investigating blood pressure responses to handgrip exercise and forearm stretching.
Participants will be required to:
- Attend 6 visits to the Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport (100 Devonshire Place) at the University of Toronto within a time span of one month, each lasting approximately 30-45 minutes.
- Complete a 4 hour fast, a 4 hour abstinence from caffeine and a 24 hour abstinence from consumption of any alcohol or strenuous exercise prior to each session.
We are looking for healthy post-menopausal women (at least 1 year) ages 45-65, free from chronic disease and non-smokers for the past six months.
All participants will be compensated for their time!
