This review focuses on how blood flow to contracting skeletal muscles is regulated during
exercise in humans. The idea is that blood flow to the contracting muscles links oxygen in …

Blood flow (BF) increases with increasing exercise intensity in skeletal, respiratory, and
cardiac muscle. In humans during maximal exercise intensities, 85% to 90% of total cardiac …

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a noninvasive optical technique that is increasingly
used to assess muscle oxygenation during exercise with the assumption that the …

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 …

Exercising muscle blood flow is reduced in patients with heart failure with a preserved
ejection fraction (HFpEF), which may be related to disease-related changes in the ability to …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death among US adults, is more
prevalent in menopausal females compared with age-matched males. Vasomotor symptoms …

The aim of this treatise is to summarize the current understanding of the mechanisms for
blood flow control to skeletal muscle under resting conditions, how perfusion is elevated …

Non‐technical summary In healthy individuals, blunting of the vasoconstriction caused by
activation of the sympathetic nervous system is thought to be an important mechanism that …

Methods. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that sympathetic responses during exercise are
augmented in PMW compared to young women (YW), and estradiol administration …

The impact of age on exercise pressor responses is equivocal, likely because of sex‐
specific neuro‐cardiovascular changes with age. However, assessments of the interactive …
