PAPE Effect With Blood Flow Restriction and Push-Up Exercise (Post-Activation Performance Enhancement)
- Conditions
- Blood Flow Restriction Exercise
- Registration Number
- NCT07015515
- Lead Sponsor
- Istanbul University
- Brief Summary
This study aims to compare the acute effects of push-up exercises performed under different blood flow restriction (BFR) conditions on upper extremity explosive strength performance, measured via the seated unilateral medicine ball throw test.
- Detailed Description
The study includes three push-up conditions (BFR, sham BFR, and no BFR). Performance is evaluated via medicine ball throws at the 4th, 8th, and 12th minutes post-exercise. Exercises are applied in a crossover design with 50% limb occlusion pressure (LOP) BFR, sham, and control arms. Throw distance and ball velocity (measured by radar device) are primary outcomes. RPE scale is used to assess perceived exertion.

- INTERVENTIONAL
- Study Design
- CROSSOVER
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method throw distance will be measured immediately after the exercise protocol is completed three times at 4th, 8th, and 12th minutes Seated unilateral medicine ball throw distance (in cm) -
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Ball velocity (km/h) will be measured by radar device after completion of the exercise three times at 4th, 8th, and 12th minutes speed at which a ball travels immediately after being thrown
Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) 1 day (will be assessed at the end of the push-up exercise) will be assessed via Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale (6-20). Borg scale is used o quantify an individual's subjective perception of exercise intensity. It provides a numerical scale, typically ranging from 6 to 20. Higher scores on the scale indicate a greater subjective sense of difficulty or effort perceived by the individual.
