Magnitude of individual beat-to-beat LVC. The pattern of individual leg vascular conductance (LVC) was similar to that of leg blood flow, since blood pressure showed no significant difference between isometric muscle contraction and muscle relaxation. The range of values in muscle relaxation was greater than the isometric muscle contraction phase, indicating enhanced vasodilatation (hyperemic response) in muscle relaxation. The explanation of arrows is indicated in the text. Pre-ex. pre-exercise, %MVC percentage of maximum voluntary contraction
