Superficial femoral artery blood flow with intermittent pneumatic compression of the lower leg applied during walking exercise and recovery

The purpose of this study was to determine if muscle blood flow during walking exercise and postexercise recovery can be augmented through the application of intermittent compression of the lower legs applied during the diastolic phase of the cardiac …

Lower body negative pressure enhances oxygen availability in the knee extensor muscles during intense resistive exercise in supine position

Purpose: During exercise in supine posture or under microgravity in space, the gravity-dependent component of local blood pressure in leg muscles at upright posture can be simulated by lower body negative pressure (LBNP). We hypothesized that during …
