Why the study?
Does localized exercise training (tennis playing) improve maximal metabolic vasodilation in the dominant forearm compared to the nondominant forearm?

Supports peripheral vascular adaptation to unilateral training; hypothesis-generating for causality and broader applicability.
Does localized exercise training (tennis playing) improve maximal metabolic vasodilation in the dominant forearm compared to the nondominant forearm?
Tennis players exhibit enhanced maximal metabolic vasodilation in their dominant forearms, suggesting a primary peripheral cardiovascular adaptation to localized exercise training.
Sinoway et al. (1986) studied this question.
