Our primary outcome was brachial artery FMD measured on Day 10 of each condition. Secondary outcomes included TSI reperfusion slope and TSI AUC acquired from the NIRS‐VOT. An a priori power analysis determined that a sample size of 21 participants provided 95% power to detect a difference in FMD of at least 1% (effect size 0.83) at the end of the two arms using a paired samples
