1. An investigation was carried out in five healthy lean adults to assess whether forearm and calf plethysmography largely reflect muscle blood flow as measured by Xe-133 and whether there is substantial variability in the blood flow to muscles located at different sites in the body.2. Blood flow to forearm and calf flexors and extensors, biceps, triceps and quadriceps was assessed using the Xe-133 clearance technique. Blood flow to forearm skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue was also measured using the Xe-133 clearance technique, whereas blood flow to the forearm and calf was measured using strain gauge plethysmography.3. The mean blood flow to different muscles ranged from 1.4+/-0.6 (gastrocnemius) to 1.8+/-0.7 (forearm extensor) ml min-1 100 g-1 muscle (1.4+/-0.6 and 1.9+/-0.8 ml min-1 100 ml-1 muscle, respectively) but there were no significant differences between them. Forearm and calf blood flows (2.7+/-0.3 and 3.0+/-0.7 ml min-1 100 ml-1 limb tissue, respectively) were about 50% to more than 100% greater (P
