What this trial measures
- magnitude of ABI reductionimmediately after exercise, at 1-, 3-, and 5-minute recovery intervals.
Measured as both absolute and percent change, calculated as the difference between baseline ABI and ABI immediately after exercise, at 1-, 3-, and 5-minute recovery intervals.
