No immediate clinical implications; hypothesis-generating for baroreflex modulation during flow-restricted exercise.
Does flow-restricted exercise alter the function of the carotid baroreflex compared to normal exercise in human subjects?
Flow-restricted exercise increases carotid baroreflex sensitivity and shifts its optimal buffering range to higher pressures, suggesting it attenuates exercise-induced heart rate increases.
Eiken et al. (1992) studied this question.
