A controlled comparative study on the effect of arterial occlusion pressure on immediate sympathetic and hyperemic responses.

ABSTRACT: Different levels of arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) can influence microcirculatory responses and autonomic nervous system activity, potentially affecting individuals undergoing training methods that incorporate AOP, such as blood flow restriction (BFR) training. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effects of four distinct AOP levels on microcirculatory responses and autonomic nervous system activity-specifically investigating the relationship between post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH), hemodynamic parameters, and heart rate variability (HRV) metrics. This prospective experimental study involved 30 healthy adults who underwent standardized assessments of heart rate variability (HRV) and post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) across four arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) lev
