Values are means ± SD (CON group 𝑛=10; LO group 𝑛=10; HI group 𝑛=10). MVC: maximum voluntary contraction; RHR: resting heart rate; RSBP: resting systolic blood pressure; RDBP: resting diastolic blood pressure; RMAP: resting mean arterial pressure; FABF: femoral artery blood flow; FMBV: femoral mean blood velocity; FMAD: femoral mean arterial diameter; FCV: femoral vascular conductance.
