Dataset: An oxygen conforming response of muscle contraction force during maximal effort handgrip exercise

Eleven participants completed 840-sec maximal effort rhythmic forearm handgrip exercise under both a low (arm above heart level; LPP) and high (arm below heart level; HPP) perfusion pressure condition. In the LPP condition, the exercising arm was moved below heart at 360-sec to suddenly increase oxygen delivery to that of the HPP condition and moved back above heart level to restore low oxygen delivery at 600-sec. Forearm (handgrip exercise) muscle contraction force, electromyography and forearm blood flow was measured throughout. Data herein are presented as deltas from the average of the first three contractions (except forearm blood flow).
