Figure 4.

Effect of Aqua Titan-treated stockings worn during the 62-h recovery period after an uphill walk on (A) muscle microvascular blood flow (mBF) and (B) oxygen consumption (mVO₂) at rest and during 10% and 20% plantar flexion exercise, relative to the pre-walk baseline (BL). Data are the mean ± SD. The threshold for the smallest substantial meaningful change on mBF and mVO₂ was set at 0.2 × SD [18]. The number of symbols denotes the likelihood of a difference between Aqua Titan and control groups, where: * = possible; ** = likely; *** = very likely; **** = almost certain.
