The diastolic inner vessel diameter (D) of the thoracic and abdominal aorta, the subclavian artery (Sub), and common femoral artery (Fem) were determined by duplex sonography in 18 able-bodied professional tennis players, 34 able-bodied elite road cyclist athletes, 26 athletes with paraplegia, 17 below-knee amputated athletes, and 30 able-bodied, untrained subjects. The vessel cross-sectional areas (CSA) were set in relation to body surface area (BSA), and the cross-section index (CS-index = CSA\/BSA) was calculated. Volumetric blood flow was determined in Sub and Fem via a pulsed-wave Doppler system and was set in relation to heart rate to calculate the stroke flow. A significantly increased D of Sub was found in the racket arm of able-bodied tennis players compared with the opposite arm (19%). Fem of able-bodied road cyclist athletes and of the intact limb in below-knee amputated athletes showed similar increases. D of Fem was lower in athletes with paraplegia (37%) and in below-knee amputated athletes proximal to the lesion (21%) compared with able-bodied, untrained subjects; CS-indexes were reduced 57 and 31%, respectively. Athletes with paraplegia demonstrated a larger D (19%) and a larger CS-index in Sub (54%) than able-bodied, untrained subjects. No significant differences in D and CS-indexes of the thoracic and abdominal aorta were found between any of the groups. The changes measured in Sub and Fem were associated with corresponding alterations in blood flow and stroke flow in all groups. The study suggests that the size and blood flow volume of the proximal limb arteries are adjusted to the metabolic needs of the corresponding extremity musculature and underscore the impact of exercise training or disuse on the structure and the function of the arterial system. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/japplphysiol.00710.2001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,3]],"date-time":"2015-03-03T20:46:02Z","timestamp":1425415562000},"page":"685-691","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":105,"title":["Size and blood flow of central and peripheral arteries in highly trained  able-bodied and disabled athletes"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"95","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Huonker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University Hospital Freiburg, Department of Prevention,  Rehabilitation and Sportsmedicine, D-79106 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Schmid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University Hospital Freiburg, Department of Prevention,  Rehabilitation and Sportsmedicine, D-79106 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Schmidt-Trucks\u00e4\u00df","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University Hospital Freiburg, Department of Prevention,  Rehabilitation and Sportsmedicine, D-79106 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Grathwohl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University Hospital Freiburg, Department of Prevention,  Rehabilitation and Sportsmedicine, D-79106 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Keul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University Hospital Freiburg, Department of Prevention,  Rehabilitation and Sportsmedicine, D-79106 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"24","reference":[{"key":"REF1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-8703(98)70126-7"},{"key":"REF2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(99)00036-4"},{"key":"REF3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-201X.1998.0324e.x"},{"key":"REF4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9149(98)90420-9"},{"key":"REF5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1916.00080130010002"},{"key":"REF6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005344-199301000-00001"},{"key":"REF7","unstructured":"Evans DH,  McDicken WN, Skidmore R, and Woodcock JP.
