Objectives: To provide insight into the physiologic mechanisms associated with alternating pressure, using wavelet analysis of skin blood flow (SBF) oscillations, and to determine whether the application of alternating pressure induces myogenic responses, thereby enhancing SBF as compared with constant loading.Design: Repeated- measures design.Setting: University research laboratory.Participants: Healthy, Young adults (N=10; 5 men, 5 women; mean age +/- standard deviation, 30.0 +/- 3.1y).Intervention: Alternating pressure for 20 minutes (four 5-min cycles with either 60mmHg or 3mmHg) and constant loading for 20 minutes at 30mmHg on the skin over the sacrum.Main Outcome Measures: A laser Doppler flowmeter was used to measure sacral SBF response to both alternating pressure and constant loading. Wavelet-based spectrum analysis of SBF oscillations was used to assess underlying physiologic mechanisms including endothelium-related metabolic (.008.-02Hz), neurogenic (.02-.05Hz), and myogenic (.05-.15Hz) controls.Results: Alternating pressure stimulated an increase in sacral SBF of compressed soft tissues as compared with constant loading (P
