![]() Finally, the competition between demand for blood flow by contracting muscles and maximum systemic cardiac output is discussed as a potential challenge to blood pressure regulation during heavy large muscle mass or whole body exercise in humans. We also discuss the vasodilating factors in the contracting muscles responsible for these very high flows. We highlight the very high muscle blood flow responses to exercise discovered in the 1980s. In this context, we take a top down approach and review the basics of oxygen consumption at rest and during exercise in humans, how these values change with training, and the systemic hemodynamic adaptations that support them. The idea is that blood flow to the contracting muscles links oxygen in the atmosphere with the contracting muscles where it is consumed. This review focuses on how blood flow to contracting skeletal muscles is regulated during exercise in humans.
