This study is looking into how handgrip training affects blood flow in the brain for adults who don't get much exercise. Researchers want to see if doing handgrip exercises three days a week for eight weeks can improve how your brain's blood vessels work. They will measure changes in blood flow in a major brain artery (middle cerebral artery) when you breathe air with extra carbon dioxide. This study is for people aged 18 to 35 who are physically inactive and have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or less. The goal is to see if handgrip training can improve brain blood vessel function, as previous studies have shown it can help with blood pressure and overall blood vessel health. The study plans to enroll 40 participants.
