Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The blood flow velocity waveforms in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) were measured under incremental cycle exercises and following recovery using the transcranial Doppler ultrasound velocimeter. At rest, the flow waveform in the MCA is characterized by a high forward flow at end-diastole, which is as much as half peak-systolic velocity. The peak-systolic velocity Vs was found to markedly rise in proportion with exercise intensity under mild and moderate intensities (up to 110 Watt) of exercise, while they tended to keep constant values under higher exercise intensities (above 110 W). The end-diastolic velocities Vd showed no significant change under mild exercise intensity and gradually increased under moderate exercise intensities. It was also found that the Vd values decrease more rapidly than Vs in recovery phase. Such nonlinear changes of Vs and Vd indicate that the influence of exercise on cerebral blood flow is more complicated than thought before.
