Regression equations for popliteal and brachial artery BFR models

Popliteal artery	Model 2	Model 3
Regression equation	0.92(DBP) + 1.78(BMI) + 4.65 (±8.83)	0.95(DBP) + 0.87(ThighCir) − 7.71 (±9.31)
Pressure at 60 % BFR (mmHg)	111	110
95 % CI (mmHg)	94–128	92–128

Brachial artery	Model 1
Regression equation	0.42(DBP) − 0.83(AT) + 77.49 (±7.56)
Pressure at 60 % BFR (mmHg)	101
95 % CI (mmHg)	86–116
