(B) Investigate the suitability of using 130% systolic brachial blood pressure for prescribing cuff inflation pressure for blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise. Repeated measures, crossover design. Lower limb AOP was assessed in 20 adults \u2265 60\u00a0years using hand\u2010held Doppler ultrasound and posterior tibial pulse palpation. Brachial systolic blood pressure (bSBP) was measured to predict cuff inflation pressures (bSBP\n                    <jats:sub>130%<\/jats:sub>\n                    ). On three occasions &gt;\u00a024\u00a0hours apart, three AOP measurements were recorded by the same blinded rater to determine intra\u2010rater reliability. Participants lay supine, with arterial occlusion achieved using a rapid inflation system and a 10\u2010cm cuff. Reliability was assessed via intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), coefficients of variation (CV) and Bland\u2013Altman plots, with validity examined via Pearson's product\u2010moment correlations and Bland\u2013Altman plots. Good to excellent reliability was observed for AOP assessed with Doppler ultrasound (ICC\u00a0=\u00a00.91, CV\u00a0=\u00a05.4%) and palpation (ICC\u00a0=\u00a00.91, CV\u00a0=\u00a05.8%). A strong positive correlation was observed in AOP values between methods (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a00.85\u20130.92,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001), though palpation significantly underestimated AOP compared to Doppler ultrasound (\u221211.8 mmHg\u00a0\u00b1\u00a08.32;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). bSBP\n                    <jats:sub>130%<\/jats:sub>\n                    was not different to 100% AOP determined with hand\u2010held Doppler (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a00.516).
