Why the study?
To examine the effects of prolonged intermittent exposures to moderately increased transmural pressure on finger vasoreactivity and thermoperception to localised cooling.
Does intermittent exposure to increased transmural pressure alter finger vasoreactivity and thermoperception to localized cooling in men?
Does intermittent exposure to increased transmural pressure alter finger vasoreactivity and thermoperception to localized cooling in men?
Iterative local exposures to augmented intravascular pressure may impair finger basal vasomotor tone and elicit thermoperceptual desensitization to noxious thermal stimuli, with effects transferring to the non-trained limb.

Hypothesis-generating for pressure exposure effects on vasoreactivity; larger trials needed before clinical consideration.
