Conditions

NO HEALTH PROBLEMS, it was an inclusion criterion to be free of any local complaints in order to be able to investigate potentially tissue relaxation after exercise interventions

Interventions

Group 1: a single sample (right anterior thigh = experimental limb) will be treated (two condidtions in a randomized order) within two subsequent weeks with measurements of local perfusion (near infra
