Relative changes in circulatory responses and blood flow responses in the resting upper arm. Relative changes in (A) heart rate (HR), (B) mean arterial pressure (MAP), (C) cross-sectional area (CSA_vein), (D) blood velocity (V_vein), and (E) venous blood flow (BF_vein) of the basilic vein in the resting upper arm during static elbow flexion at 35% of maximal voluntary contraction with (EX + VIB) and without (EX) vibration of the biceps brachii tendon. Data expressed as mean ± standard error. *P <0.05, difference between EX and EX + VIB; †P <0.05, difference from baseline level during EX; ‡P <0.05, difference from baseline level during EX + VIB.
