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 …

As dysfunction of the vascular system is an early, modifiable step in the progression of many
cardiovascular diseases, there is demand for methods to monitor the health of the vascular …

Passive exercise/movement has a long history in both medicine and physiology. Early
clinical applications of passive exercise/movement utilized pneumatic and direct limb …

Purpose Vascular dysfunction has been demonstrated in patients with Alzheimer's disease
(AD). Exercise is known to positively affect vascular function. Thus, the aim of our study was …

Purpose Lower limb microvascular dysfunction resulting from prolonged sitting (PS) bouts
has been revealed to occur independent of sex. Although acute antioxidant supplementation …

Black women (BLW) have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity
and mortality compared with White women (WHW). A racial disparity in CVD risk has been …

Purpose While maximum blood flow influences one's maximum rate of oxygen consumption
(V̇O2max), with so many indices of vascular function, it is still unclear if vascular function is …

Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, we read with great interest the Perspectives
article by Paterson et al.(1) that recommended future prolonged sitting studies standardize …

Vascular conductance (VC) regulation involves a continuous balance between metabolic
vasodilation and sympathetic vasoconstriction. Endurance exercise challenges the …

Physical exercise potentiates the carotid chemoreflex control of ventilation (VE).
Hyperadditive neural interactions may partially mediate the potentiation. However, some …
