title: [Cardiovascular changes induced by isometric exercise in aged subjects].
abstract: Blood pressure and heart rate during static contraction of forearm muscles holding a tension of 30% maximal voluntary strength for 5 mn have been measured. Eleven young men and 11 elderly male subjects were used. Maximal voluntary strength is reduced by 19% in elderly subjects. Relative mean cardio-vascular responses were unaffected by age.
