Figure 2

Changes in basal and peak forearm blood flow (FBF). (A) For basal FBF, there was a significant time × mode × sex interaction (ψ, P = 0.01) as resistance exercise (RE) produced greater increases in basal FBF compares with aerobic exercise (AE), and women had a significantly greater increase after RE than men (P = 0.042). (B) For peak FBF, there was a significant increase in peak blood flow after both exercise modes, and RE induced significantly higher peak blood flow (P = 0.04).
