Resistance Training With Blood Flow Restriction
- Conditions
- Healthy
- Registration Number
- NCT05863039
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Oklahoma
- Brief Summary
Blood flow restriction associated with resistance training is suggested to potentiate increases in muscular strength and hypertrophy. This study will compare the effects of resistance training associated with blood flow restriction with a regular resistance training program. Findings of this project will provide important information regarding a promising intervention to potentiate muscle performance.
- Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to determine alterations in motor unit behavior of the tibialis anterior muscles after a resistance exercise program associated with blood flow restriction. Our working hypothesis is that blood flow restriction to working muscles will induce greater changes in muscle activation, lean mass and muscle size compared with a training at same intensity without blood flow restriction.
