Purpose: While maximum blood flow influences one's maximum rate of oxygen consumption (V̇O max), with so many indices of vascular function, it is still unclear if vascular function is related to V̇O max in healthy, young adults. The purpose of this study was to determine if several common vascular tests of conduit artery and resistance artery function provide similar information about vascular function and the relationship between vascular function and V̇O max.

Methods: Twenty-two healthy adults completed multiple assessments of leg vascular function, including flow-mediated dilation (FMD), reactive hyperemia (RH), passive leg movement (PLM), and rapid onset vasodilation (ROV).
