  • Title: Reflex venomotor responses to lower body negative pressure following endurance training.
    Author: Vroman NB, Healy JA, Kertzer R.
    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1990 Apr; 61(4):307-9. PubMed ID: 2339964.
    Abstract:
    The effect of endurance training on reflex venomotor control during an orthostatic challenge was investigated in 11 sedentary male volunteers. An exercise (E) group (n = 6) underwent 12 weeks of endurance exercise training, whereas a control (C) group (n = 5) remained sedentary. Training significantly increased VO2max values in E (pre-training: 37.0 +/- 2.5 ml.kg-1.min-1; post training: 44.6 +/- 2.5 ml.kg-1.min-1), while C showed no significant change. During exposures to two levels of lower body negative pressure (-10 and -40 mm Hg), both C and E groups showed similar graded decreases in forearm venous volume (FVV). The magnitude of the FVV decreases did not differ between groups or when comparing pre-training and post-training values. We conclude that the reflex venoconstrictor response to LBNP was not affected by endurance training.
