(a) Scattergram of the thenar tissue O₂ consumption rate (%/min) during a 3 min vascular occlusion technique and total oxygen consumption (mL/min/m², 𝑟=0.50, 𝑃<0.001, 𝑛=60) for pooled data. (b) Scattergram of the reperfusion rate (%/min), indicative of, not or the endothelial function after cuff release following a 3 min vascular occlusion technique and total oxygen consumption (mL/min/m²) (𝑟=0.43, 𝑃<0.001, 𝑛=60) for pooled data.
