ABSTRACT
Background: Physical exercise induces an increase in blood flow. Intermittent occlusion with strain gauge plethysmography makes it possible to study reactive hyperemia by comparing upper and lower limbs.
Objectives: To determine reactive hyperemia blood flow of upper and lower extremities in cyclists, rowers and a control group.
Methods: Reactive hyperemia with strain gauge plethysmography with measurement of blood flow in the calf and forearm in two groups of highly trained individuals, 10 cyclists, 10 rowers, and 10 untrained control subjects.
Results: The three groups had similar baseline blood flow in forearm and leg. The increase in blood flow in the leg was similar in cyclists and rowers, and higher in these groups
than in the control group. The increase in blood flow in the forearm was higher in rowers than in cyclists and control subjects.
Conclusion: Reactive
hyperemia with strain gauge plethysmography is a non invasive and reproducible technique. Exercise increases blood flow in all muscle regions and to agreater degree on those more trained. There should be more comparative
studies between healthy groups with different risk for cardiovascular diseas
