Acute resistance exercise augments calf blood flow without altering arterial compliance in young men; extends evidence on intensity-independent vascular responses.
Does lower body resistance exercise at different intensities improve arterial compliance and calf blood flow in young men?
High-intensity, moderate-intensity, and low-intensity blood flow restricted lower body resistance exercise increase calf blood flow but do not affect arterial compliance in young men.
