Figure 4. Blood flow, arterial pressure and vascular conductances.

A, cardiac output (white bars), leg blood flow (grey bars) and arm blood flow (black bars). B, arterial blood pressures at the level of the right atrium: systolic (white bars), mean (grey bars) and diastolic (black bars). C, systemic vascular conductance (white bars), leg vascular conductance (grey bars) and arm vascular conductance (black bars), during exercise with arms and legs (diagonal), with double poling (predominantly arms: P. Arms), with only legs (legs) and maximal exercise with the diagonal technique (Diagonal Max). §P < 0.05 compared to double poling; ‡P < 0.05 compared with leg skiing.
