Abstract

This study evaluated the inter-day test-retest reliability of the Finapres® finger pulse pressure measuring device during rest and exercise. Eight male participants visited the laboratory twice for evaluation of the inter-day reliability of the Finapres® finger-pulse pressure device to measure: hear...

Eight male participants visited the laboratory twice for evaluation of the inter-day reliability of the Finapres&#xAE; finger-pulse pressure device to measure: heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (Q&#x307;) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at rest, and treadmill walking at 3 km/h on 1% and 5% inclines. There were no systematic biases for any of the variables between days. The coefficient of variation (CV%) and 95% limits of agreement (95% LoA) was smallest for MAP (CV%=1.6&#x2013;3.2%; LoA total error=4.6&#x2013;12 mmHg) and HR (CV%=3.2&#x2013;3.9%; LoA total error=6.8&#x2013;11.9 b/min), increasing with exercise intensity (gradient). The pattern of err
