Abstract
Muscle fatigue is defined as a reduction in the force generating capacity of a muscle or group of muscles. Local muscular fatigue is attenuated with exercise training, and there is some evidence that blood flow kinetics during exercise are also enhanced with training. This study aimed to further explore the relationship between fatigue and blood flow by assessing the kinetics of fatigue and blood flow during forearm (hand grip) exercise before and after a four week training period. Existing techniques for the measurement of blood flow during exercise are invasive or only measure flow through a single artery. A secondary aim of the present study was to explore the use of strain gauge plethysmography for the measurement of forearm blood flow during exercise.
