Absolute changes (Δ) in cardiovascular responses evoked by bilateral carotid occlusion (BCO) during mild exercise (hatched bars), muscle metaboreflex activation (MMA; cross-hatched bars), calculated MMA + BCO during exercise (CALC; filled bars), and observed combined effect of the MMA and BCO during MMA (OBS; open bars). ‡P < 0.05 vs. calculated sum of reflex-induced response during MMA and BCO during exercise.
