Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol
January 2025
Department of Kinesiology, Faculty of Science, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
This study examined how successive sets of high-intensity leg press (LP) resistance exercise impact the cerebral pressure-flow relationship in untrained males and eumenorrheic females not taking oral contraceptives, and assessed how menstrual cycle (MC) phase influences the cerebral pressure-flow relationship and cerebral hemodynamics (middle cerebral artery blood velocity; MCAv; via transcranial Doppler ultrasound) during and after LP exercise in females. Young adults (11M;11F) performed three sets of leg-press exercises at 90% of their 1-repetition maximum. Data from males and females in early follicular phase were pooled together.
