Popis: Purpose While maximum blood flow influences one's maximum rate of oxygen consumption (V̇O2max), with so many indices of vascular function, it is still unclear if vascular function is related to V̇O2max in healthy, young adults. The purpose of this study was to determine if several common vascular tests of conduit artery and resistance artery function provide similar information about vascular function and the relationship between vascular function and V̇O2max. Methods Twenty‐two healthy adults completed multiple assessments of leg vascular function, including flow‐mediated dilation (FMD), reactive hyperemia (RH), passive leg movement (PLM), and rapid onset vasodilation (ROV). V̇O2max was assessed with a graded exercise test on a cycle ergometer. Results Indices associated with resistance artery function (e.g., peak flow during RH, PLM, and ROV) were generally related to each other (r = 0.47–77, p
