Leg blood flow distribution in the thigh and leg during passive whole body heat stress and leg occlusion. Blood flow distribution to each of the major conduit arteries during passive heat stress. Thigh blood flow is represented by CFA blood flow following a cuff occlusion at the level of the knee, whereas lower leg blood flow is the difference between thigh blood flow and whole leg blood flow. A: CFA. B: SFA. C: PFA. Data are mean ± SE for 8 subjects. *P < 0.05, significantly higher than previous condition.
