Physiological Responses to Handgrip Exercise and Post-Exercise Ischemia in 16 Participants

Participant-level source data for a study on muscle metaboreflex activation in humans, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology. The 36.6 KB Excel file contains anonymized measurements for 16 healthy young men across rest, exercise, and recovery phases. Values were rounded for readability, with statistical analyses in the published article using the original unrounded data.

Use Cases

• Replicate statistical analyses from the published article based on the source data for Figures 3, 4, and 5.
• Study the relationship between handgrip exercise and cardiovascular variables like blood pressure and heart rate.
• Analyze changes in respiratory variables such as ventilation and breathing frequency during different physiological states.
• Investigate hemodynamic responses during breath-holding under conditions of rest and post-exercise ischemia.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed publication with a DOI (10.1152/japplphysiol.00577.2025).
• Includes source data for specific published figures (3, 4, and 5), enabling verification.
• Participant identifiers were anonymized, and the dataset is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the README sheet after download.
• The dataset's scope is limited to 16 participants, a small sample size.

Provenance

Source

figshare, associated with a publication in the Journal of Applied Physiology.

Collection Method

Collected from experimental procedures involving handgrip exercise, post-exercise ischemia, and breath-holding in a controlled study.
