“…The shape of the dye curves was irregular, however, indicating great variety and dispersion of circulation times in the leg, and this made it difficult to distinguish the primary circulation of the indicator from the recirculation as is necessary for the calculation of flow. Other approaches utilizing specialized equipment for the injection and the recording of the indicator concentration time-course have been tried both at rest and during light exercise (Pentecost, 1964;Ganz, Hlavova, Fronek, Linhart & Prerovsky, 1964;Hlavova, Linhart, Prerovsky, Ganz & Fronek, 1965;Cobb, Smith, Lwai & Short, 1969). No simple method is available, however, for the determination ofleg blood flow, nor does any information appear to have been published on leg blood flowin response to graded exercise in healthy subjects.…”
