title: [The effect of isometric exercises for cervical spine on blood pressure].
abstract: Isometric exercises are common modality in the treatment of cervical syndrome. They are based on maximal voluntary contraction for 5-10 seconds. Isometric exercises can significantly rise blood presure. The purpose of the study was to asses the effect of isometric exercises submaximal intesity (60% maximal voluntary contraction) redarding blood pressure. The reults showed that even isometric exercises lower intesity statistically singnificabt rise systolic and diastolic blood pressure immediately after exercises. The blood pressure values reach normal values after 30 minutes.
