Figure 2. Reflex responses to metaboreflex and mechanoreflex activation.

Figure 2

Sympathetic (A, p=0.83) and blood pressure (B, p=0.98) responses to mechanoreflex activation (15% MVC Exercise, 2 min) were not different between groups. Sympathetic (C, p=0.78) and blood pressure (D, p=0.69) responses to combined central command, mechanoreflex, and metaboreflex activation (30% MVC Exercise, 2 min) were not different between groups. Fatiguing exercise (30% MVC Exercise, Fatigue) followed by post-exercise ischemia (PEI) resulted in a persistent rise in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (E) and blood pressure (F) which were blunted from fatigue levels (‡p<0.01 vs Fatigue); differences in group responses were not detected.
