Summary

Examination of arterial stiffness before and after a series of locally applied external mechanical compressions designed to be similar to the resistance exercise concentric/eccentric duty cycle found external compression reduced local artery stiffness of the compressed limb while having no effect on arterial stiffening of the non-compressed limb or central artery stiffness.
