The introduction of duplex Doppler ultrasound almost half a century ago signified a
revolutionary advance in the ability to assess limb blood flow in humans. It is now widely …

Although the effects of exercise training on vascular function have been well studied, less is
known about the effects of acute exercise bouts. This synthesis summarizes and integrates …

The regulation of skeletal muscle blood flow and oxygen delivery to contracting skeletal
muscle is complex and involves the mechanical effects of muscle contraction; local …

During exercise, oxygen and nutrient rich blood must be delivered to the active skeletal
muscle, heart, skin, and brain through the complex and highly regulated integration of …

Aerobic exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) can improve muscular function and
aerobic capacity. However, the extent to which cuff pressure influences acute physiological …

Investigations of human conduit artery endothelial function via flow-mediated vasodilation
(FMD) have largely been restricted to the reactive hyperemia (RH) technique, wherein a …

Key points• Passive limb movement elicits a robust increase in limb blood flow (LBF) and
limb vascular conductance (LVC) without a concomitant increase in skeletal muscle …

It is widely believed that pet ownership is beneficial to humans and that some of this benefit
is through favourable effects on cardiovascular risk. In the present review, we critically …

While acute treatment with beetroot juice (BRJ) containing nitrate (NO3−) can lower systolic
blood pressure (SBP), afterload, and myocardial O2 demand during submaximal exercise …

This study sought to better define the role of NO in brachial artery flow–mediated
vasodilation (FMD) in young, healthy humans. Brachial artery blood velocity and diameter …
