Data were analysed at baseline during the last 5 min of a 10-min period and during the 40 repetitions of the experimental sessions semi-recumbent on the leg press machine. The precautions to avoid data loss were (a) placing the right arm in a supinated position on a chair to prevent grasping the machine; (b) avoidance of odd flexions or contractions, neither with the arm or the finger with the plethysmography cuff; and (c) maintenance of a normal breathing pattern, since a strong Valsalva maneuver may affect the BP collection by plethysmography; however, the Valsalva maneuver was not forbidden . Data were only considered suitable for analysis when at least 80% of the total BP tracing of every session was collected. The percentage of valid data in six participants was lower than 80% in the IRD, so only nine participants (7 men and 2 women) were compared between sessions.
