Tschakovsky, Michael E., and Don D. Sheriff. Immediate exercise hyperemia: contributions of the muscle pump vs. rapid vasodilation. J Appl Physiol 97: 739–747, 2004; 10.1152/japplphysiol.00185.2004.—A striking characteristic of the blood flow adaptation at exercise onset is the immediate and substantial increase in the first few (0–5 s) seconds of exercise. The purpose of this mini-review is to put into context the present evidence regarding mechanisms responsible for this phase of exercise hyperemia. One potential mechanism that has received much attention is the mechanical effect of muscle contraction (the muscle pump). The rapid vasodilatory mechanism(s) is another possible mechanism that has recently been shown to exist. This review will provide the reader with 1) an understanding of the basic physics of blood flow and the theories of muscle pump function, 2) a critical examination of evidence both for and against the contribution of the muscle pump or rapid vasodilatory mechanisms, and 3) an awareness of the limitations and impact of experimental models and exercise modes on the contribution of each of these mechanisms to the immediate exercise hyperemia. The inability to measure microvenular pressure continues to limit investigators to indirect assessments of the muscle pump vs. vasodilatory mechanism contributions to immediate exercise hyperemia in vivo. Future research directions should include examination of muscle-contraction-induced resistance vessel distortion as a trigger for rapid smooth muscle relaxation and further investigation into the exercise mode dependency of muscle pump vs. rapid vasodilatory contributions to immediate exercise hyperemia.

J Appl Physiol 97: 731–738, 2004; 10.1152/japplphysiol.00076. 2004.—Activation of skeletal muscle fibers by somatic nerves results in vasodilation and functional hyperemia. Sympathetic nerve activity is integral to vasoconstriction and the maintenance of arterial blood pressure. Thus the interaction betwe...

J Appl Physiol 97: 393–403, 2004; 10.1152/japplphysiol.00179. 2004.—Skeletal muscle blood flow is closely coupled to metabolic demand, and its regulation is believed to be mainly the result of the interplay of neural vasoconstrictor activity and locally derived vasoactive substances. Muscle blood flo...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle contraction-induced vasodilation in the microcirculation
Maximal whole body exercise leads skeletal muscle blood flow to markedly increase to match metabolic demands, a phenomenon termed exercise hyperaemia that is accomplished by increasing vasodilation. However, local vasodilatory mechanisms in response to skeletal muscle contraction remain uncertain. This review highlights metabolic vasodilators released from contracting skeletal muscle, endotheli...
