Key result
Continuous, low-intensity static exercise decreased muscle oxygen extraction and increased muscle perfusion and its heterogeneity compared with intermittent static exercise.

Does continuous static exercise alter muscle perfusion and oxygen extraction compared to intermittent static exercise in healthy men?
Continuous static exercise results in higher and more heterogeneous muscle perfusion with lower oxygen extraction compared to intermittent static exercise at the same relative intensity.
Kalliokoski et al. (2003) studied Healthy (n=10). Continuous static exercise vs. Intermittent static exercise (10% of maximal static force) was evaluated on Muscle perfusion, perfusion heterogeneity, and oxygen extraction. Continuous, low-intensity static exercise decreased muscle oxygen extraction and increased muscle perfusion and its heterogeneity compared with intermittent static exercise.
