Abstract

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine whether the muscle metaboreflex affects cardiovascular responses with a cold stimulus. [Subjects] The subjects were 9 healthy males. [Methods] Each subject performed a 2-min isometric handgrip (IHG) at 30% of maximum voluntary contraction, followed by a 2-min post exercise muscle ischemia (PEMI) to activate the muscle metaboreflex. IHG and PEMI were sustained with or without a cold stimulus (immersion of feet in ice water). [Results] During IHG, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR) increased progressively under both conditions. After exercise, SBP in the PEMI was kept higher than at rest, while HR decreased and returned to control value. There were no significant differences in SBP and HR values with or without the cold stimulus. [Conclusion] The present results suggest that a cold stimulus does not affect cardiovascular responses during PEMI.<br>
