Does moderate muscle tension attenuate the cardiovascular responses to lower body negative pressure in healthy male volunteers?
Moderate muscle tension in the legs attenuates LBNP-induced blood pressure decreases and prevents pre-syncopal reactions through mechanical compression and reflex stimulation.
Smith et al. (1987) studied this question.
