Abstract:
Blood flow of the thigh and calf in both of the right and left legs were measured simultaneously before and immediately after rhythmic exercise of dorsi-flection of the ankle joint with mercury-in-rubber strain gauge venous occlusion plethysmography. The rhythmic exercise of dorsi-flection on the ankle joint of the right leg was performed by the electrical stimulator for 5 min.
The mean values (standard deviation) of resting blood flow of the thigh and calf were 4.2 (1.3) and 3.8 (2.4) ml/100ml·min for the right leg, and 4.2 (1.2) and 3.8 (1.6) ml/100ml·min for the left leg, respectively. The difference in resting values for the two legs was not significant.
The calf blood flow of right leg (active part) immediately after exercise was increased for about 3 times compared with resting value (P<0.01) . On the other hand, no significant change in blood flow immediately after rhythmic exercise was observed in the non-active parts (right thigh, left thigh and calf) .
