When is the Valsalva maneuver done?

Can valsalva maneuver causes muscle hypertrophy?
No. The answer is in the definition of hypertrophy. Hypertrophy is the increase in the volume of an organ or tissue due to the enlargement of its component cells. The Valsalva maneuver does not affect cells in this way. It does, however, remain a cardiac test, a way to 'clear' the sinuses when atmospheric changes have occurred. Remember the last time you drove up a mountain, and it seemed like your ears 'popped'? That was an involuntary reaction to an atmospheric change. The Valsalva maneuver is, of course, used to cause the ears to 'pop', meaning it's equalizing the pressure. There is NO danger in the Valsalva maneuver, but if you have a heart condition, you should stay away from doing this. It's not a hypertrophic issue, its a heart issue.
To perform the Valsalva maneuver pinch your nose When would you do this?
From WikipediaThe Valsalva maneuver is performed by forcibly exhaling against a closed airway. Variations of the maneuver can be used either in medicine, as a test of cardiac function and autonomic nervous control of the heart or to 'clear' the ears and sinuses (equalize pressure) when ambient pressure changes, as in diving or aviation. The technique is named after Antonio Maria Valsalva, the 17th Century physician and anatomist from Bologna, whose principal scientific interest was the human ear. He described the Eustachian tube and the maneuver to test its patency (openness). He also described the use of this maneuver to expel pus from the middle ear. A modified version is done by expiring against a closed glottis. This will elicit the cardiovascular responses described below but will not force air into the eustachian tubes.
