Fitness Level‐ and Sex-Related Differences in Macrovascular and Microvascular Responses during Reactive Hyperemia

Conclusions Whereas NIRS-VOT outcomes identified fitness- and sex-related differences in vascular responses, %FMD did not. However, when RH-related outcomes from the FMD analysis were considered, fitness- and/or sex-related differences were detected. These data highlight the importance of integrating FMD and NIRS-VOT outcomes for a more comprehensive evaluation of vascular function.
