Why the study?
Does combined leg and forearm exercise alter muscle sympathetic nerve activity and calf blood flow compared to rest or single-limb exercise?
Does combined leg and forearm exercise alter muscle sympathetic nerve activity and calf blood flow compared to rest or single-limb exercise?
Combined leg and arm exercise increases muscle sympathetic nerve activity and calf vascular resistance, likely mediated by reflex input from muscle metabolic receptors in the working arm.
