Figure 2. Increase in quadriceps muscle temperature (A) and rate of quadriceps muscle heat accumulation (B).

Figure 2

Results are shown for before and during 90 s of low intensity knee-extensor exercise with (OCC, thin line and □) and without thigh occlusion (CON-LI, normal line and ▪) as well as 90 s of high intensity exercise preceded by low intensity exercise (CON-HI, thick line and ▵). The quadriceps muscle temperature increase was determined by six intramuscular thermistors placed in the vastus lateralis (2 sites), rectus femoris (2 sites) and vastus medialis (2 sites) muscles. Means ±s.e.m. are given. *Significantly (P < 0.05) different from CON-LI.
