Summary

We will recruit 30 healthy human participants and measure their blood pressure in their arm as well as collect heart rate. We will then place two commercially-available, FDA-approved tourniquets around each thigh to stop blood flow to the legs. We will measure the blood pressure and heart rate in the arms again. We will then release the tourniquets after blood pressure measurement. This will be repeated three times with breaks between each repetition.
