Limb- and training-specific sympatholysis during exercise is hypothesis-generating; leaves open effects on clinical vascular outcomes.
Does exercise training status and limb type affect acute sympathetic vasoconstriction at rest and during dynamic exercise?
Sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction is uniform at rest regardless of training status, but sympatholysis during exercise varies by limb and training level.
Wray et al. (2006) studied this question.
