SFA shear rates (s⁻¹) and baseline diameters (mm) during SIT and VIT trials. Data represented as Mean ±SD.

^*Indicates baseline diameters significantly different from each other at 0 hr only.

^{^}Indicates antegrade and mean shear rates significantly different from 0hr in SIT trial only.

^{#and $}indicate significant difference between SRauc in the SIT and VIT trial at baseline and at 2 hrs respectively. Data for SRauc and FMD: SRauc are from 5 participants. Please see limitations for details.
