Summary. In the present study, a strain-gauge plethysmographic method (ASGP) is compared to an isotope plethysmographic method (ABVS), in order to evaluate how an externally recorded volume change corresponds to blood displacement within the leg during exercise. The coefficient of correlation for R T (venous return time) was 0.67 (P
