 note = {We hypothesized that, compared with young males, young females have a smaller decrease in blood flow to the inactive limb, accompanied by a smaller increase in arterial blood pressure, during dynamic exercise with increased inspiratory muscle work. Young males and females performed dynamic knee-extension and -flexion exercises for 10 min (spontaneous breathing for 5 min and voluntary hyperpnoea with or without inspiratory resistance for 5 min). Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and mean blood flow (MBF) in the brachial artery were continuously measured by means of finger photoplethysmography and Doppler ultrasound, respectively. No sex differences were found in the ΔMAP and ΔMBF (Δ: from baseline) during exercise without inspiratory resistance. In contrast, the ΔMAP during exercise with inspiratory resistive breathing was greater (P < 0.05) in males (+31.3 ± 2.1 mmHg, mean ± SE) than females (+18.9 ± 3.2 mmHg). The MBF during exercise with inspiratory resistance did not change in males (–4.4 ± 10.6 mL/min), whereas it significantly increased in females (+25.2 ± 15.4 mL/min). These results suggest that an attenuated inspiratory muscle-induced metaboreflex in young females affects blood flow distribution during submaximal dynamic leg exercise.},
