Author (Year)	Session	Variables Analyzed	Exercise Protocol	Assessment Duration	Main Results
Olher et al., (2013) [19]	HS1, HS2, and CS	SBP, DBP, MBP, HR, and RPP	HS1 = 20 × 10 s; RI NI; 30% MVC. HS2 = 20 × 10 s; RI NI; 50% MVC.	60 min	HS1, HS2 e SC = → SBP, DBP, MBP, HR, and RPP.
Porro et al., (1995) [17]	HS	SVR and CI	1 × 3 min; 30% MVC	24 h	Non-dippers = ↑ SVR and CI Dippers = → SVR; ↑ CI

HS—handgrip session; HS1—HS with 30% of MVC; HS2—HS with 50% of MVC; CS—control session; MVC—maximal voluntary capacity; RI—recovery interval; SBP—systolic blood pressure; DBP—diastolic blood pressure; MBP—mean blood pressure; HR—heart rate; RPP—rate pressure product; SVR—systemic vascular resistance; CI—cardiac index.
