Dynamic response of cerebral perfusion during low-intensity cycling exercise: A study using transcranial Doppler ultrasound (original) (raw)

Internal Medicine Review, 2016

Abstract

<p><tt>We investigated the changes in cerebral perfusion during constant low-intensity exercise and the effect of a late increase in workload. Eleven healthy males participated in this study. Four subjects performed 15 min of constant low-intensity exercise on a cycle ergometer, while seven subjects performed 20 min of exercise consisting of 17 min of low-intensity exercise, which was incremented to moderate-intensity for the final 3 min. As an index for cerebral perfusion, the time-averaged mean velocity of flow in the middle cerebral artery (MCAV<sub>mean</sub>) was measured using transcranial Doppler ultrasound. During the 15-min of low-intensity exercise (78 ± 3 Watts), pulmonary oxygen consumption…
