Pre- and post-exercise flow-mediated dilatation measurements. a shows flow-mediated dilation (FMD) before and after each exercise session. Since baseline brachial artery diameter (before cuff occlusion in FMD) was larger pre-exercise compared to post-exercise in the IE session, we adjusted FMD values for baseline brachial diameter. Thus, b shows FMD values adjusted for baseline brachial artery diameter. AE session (n = 10) and IE session (n = 10). Differences were tested by generalized estimating equations (GEE) with Bonferroni post-hoc test
