The Effect of Low-Intensity Resistance Exercise Training

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
• Interventions: Other: High Intensity Resistant Exercise; Other: Low Intensity Exercises with Blood Flow Restriction

• Registration Number: NCT04755608
• Lead Sponsor: Sultan Abdulhamid Han Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey

Brief Summary

It was to compare the effect of low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction (LL-BFR) and high-intensity resistance training (HI-RT) on muscle strength, endurance and volume, functional performance, and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

The study included 13 young women. It is a controlled study designed for individuals to perform two different exercise protocols unilaterally. The persons were randomly allocated into two groups as LI- BFR (Group I, n = 13) and HI-RT (Group II, n = 13). Both groups received training for 6 weeks and 3 days a week. Blood flow restriction was performed only in group I.

Detailed Description

Both sides triceps muscle thickness, triceps and biceps strength and endurance, functional performances (upper extremity Y balance test (UQYBT)), delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) were evaluated before and after training.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
delayed-onset muscle soreness	6 weeks	Visual Analog Scale
functional performances	6 weeks	Upper Extremity Y Balance Test
triceps muscle thickness	6 weeks	Triceps brachial (TB) long head thickness was measured using the Esaote mylab C series ultrasound device.
triceps and biceps strength	6 weeks	Triceps brachial muscle strength was evaluated with an isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex HUMAC / NORM, CSMI, 2004). Isometric muscle strength measurement was performed at the beginning and end of the study at angular velocities of 0-150 ° elbow range, 60 ° / s (strength measurement)
triceps and biceps endurance	6 weeks	Triceps brachial muscle strength was evaluated with an isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex HUMAC / NORM, CSMI, 2004). Isometric muscle strength measurement was performed at the beginning and end of the study at angular velocities of 0-150 ° elbow range, 180 ° / s (endurance measurement).
