1. The exercise pressor reflex implies mechano- and chemo-sensitive receptors that affect afferent nerve traffic in _____, which in turn increase the sympathetic outflow to the heart and resistance vessels.

2. This study indicates that relative ischemia induced by flow restriction during exercise appears to increase the exercise pressor reflex.

3. The fact that the difference in responses occurred only during the _____ of an isometric contraction suggests that the altered exercise pressor response depends on an altered afferent signaling originating from the muscle chemoreflex or a blunted increase in central command due to decreased muscle fatigue.

4. It has previously been shown that, during isometric handgrip, endurance training of the forearm reduces the increase in:

5. The present results indicate that the metabolic disturbance per se induced peripheral adaptations that reduced the exercise pressor response.

6. There were no observed changes in EPR after NR-training, despite about _____ increase in peak performance.

7. The difference between the R- and NR-trained leg occurs in the second half of the isometric contractions in which pressure responses?

8. The chemoreflex comes into effect after some time, because of its dependence on the gradual accumulation of metabolites and decrease in pH.

9. Previous studies have shown that regular training without flow restriction (NR-training), performed as in the present study, increases the aerobic capacity and acts to alter the metabolic capacity towards a more aerobic profile with an increased capillary density.

10. It has been shown that endurance-trained individuals have a lower exercise pressor response during isometric contraction of the _____ muscle, compared to untrained subjects.

11. The maximal voluntary contraction increased after training, with approximately _____ in the flow-restricted trained leg.

12. A decrease in exercise pressor response was apparent in the:

13. Findings suggest that peripheral perturbation induced by blood flow restriction in arterial and venous leg blood flow, including local hypoxia and reduce venous return, produces elevated metabolic demand.

14. Compared to the low-intensity endurance exercise group, greater responses in all of the following were found in the low-intensity endurance exercise with blood flow restriction group, except for:

15. This study’s findings suggest that cycling exercise undertaken with blood flow restriction is able to provoke additional perturbations to homeostasis necessary to induce improvements in VO2max, which normally take place during moderate-vigorous intensity endurance exercise without blood flow restriction.

16. It was shown that decreases in locomotion economy with BFR were caused by the increased:

17. It is suggested that the elevated _____ response is due to the local hypoxia induced by BFR.

18. All of the following occur during BFR exercise, except for:

19. It is suggested that metaboreflex causes a delay in the reactivation of the sympathetic system.

20. Exercise at _____ of peak workload can induce an important pressor reflex.

21. What is the link between metabolic perturbation and cardiorespiratory adaptation induced by low-intensity endurance exercise with blood flow restriction?
