Differences in brachial and femoral artery responses to prolonged sitting

It is unknown if there are limb differences in vascular function during prolonged sitting. This study was designed to test whether the effects of prolonged sitting on brachial artery (BA) and the superficial femoral artery (SFA) are similar. Twelve men (24.2 ± 4 yrs.) participated in a 3 hr prolonge...

Zusammenfassung:	It is unknown if there are limb differences in vascular function during prolonged sitting. This study was designed to test whether the effects of prolonged sitting on brachial artery (BA) and the superficial femoral artery (SFA) are similar. Twelve men (24.2 ± 4 yrs.) participated in a 3 hr prolonged sitting trial (SIT). SFA and BA flow mediated dilation (FMD) and respective flow patterns were measured at baseline, 1 hr, 2 hr and 3 hr. By a one-way ANOVA there was a significant decline in SFA FMD during 3 hrs of SIT (p
