Figure 4. Spontaneous cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (cBRS) at rest and during dynamic leg cycling under free-flow conditions (open bars) and with partial flow restriction (filled bars).
Spontaneous cBRS calculated using either R-R interval (RRI-cBRS, A) or heart rate (HR-cBRS, B). FF, free flow; PFR, partial flow restriction; BP, blood pressure; RRI, R-R interval; Ex90, leg cycling at target HR of 90 beats min−1; Ex120, leg cycling at target HR of 120 beats min−1; PEI, post-exercise ischaemia. *P < 0.05 vs. rest of corresponding trial; †P < 0.05 vs. Ex90 of corresponding trial; ‡P < 0.05 vs. Ex120 of corresponding trial; §P < 0.05 vs. FF trial at corresponding time point.
