Abstract
- Ambulatory venous pressure (AVP) is the drop of pressure observed in the superficial veins of the lower leg during movement. This phenomenon has been linked to the function of the calf muscle pump (CMP) and the competence of venous valves. Nevertheless, the concept of the CMP function remains controversial. This study aimed to elucidate the association between lower leg muscles activity, changes in pressure in distinct venous segments, and lower extremity arterial blood supply in healthy subjects during various types and intensities of exercise.
