Fig. 3From: Lower-body positive pressure diminishes surface blood flow reactivity during treadmill walkingExtent of blood flow increase at the onset of the walking. In the forehead, the blood flow under 5 kPa and 6.7 kPa are significantly different from 0 kPa (a p < .001 for both). Also, in the thigh, significant differences in blood flow are found for 5 kPa and 6.7 kPa than for 0 kPa (b p < .001 for both). For the calf and the instep, no significant differences in blood flow are observed depending on applied pressure (c, d p > .05 for both) (ANOVA, Tukey–Kramer).
