Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that upper and lower limb blood flow and shear rate patterns are altered during a single bout of IMST, at low- and high-intensity training. Specifically, anterograde blood flow and shear rate are significantly reduced in the brachial artery, whereas retrograde blood flow is significantly elevated in both the brachial and popliteal arteries. These findings provide insight into the vascular impact of IMST, which may inform future mechanistic studies.
