Abstract
Calf and thigh blood flows in both of right and left legs were measured simultaneously after isometric contraction of the right thigh muscle. Isometric contraction was performed at a force of about 50 % of maximal voluntary contraction for 15 sec. The thigh blood flow of the right leg increased immediately after voluntary contraction in all subjects, while the calf blood flow of right leg decreased conversely in spite of exercised ipsilateral leg.
