"How Blood Flow Restriction Exercise Affects Muscle Oxygenation and Lactate in Elite Athletes"

Conditions: Blood Flow Restriction Training, Muscle Oxygenation, Physiological Adaptations

Sex: Male

Ages: 15 Years – 18 Years

Healthy volunteers: Yes

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 46

Sponsor: Eastern Mediterranean University

Summary

This study investigates the effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) training combined with low-intensity aerobic exercise on muscle oxygenation, total hemoglobin (THb), and blood lactate levels in elite athletes, comparing them with healthy sedentary individuals. BFR training, which partially restricts arterial and fully restricts venous blood flow using a pneumatic cuff, creates a hypoxic environment, leading to muscle strength and endurance improvements with lower-intensity exercise. The study aims to determine whether BFR-induced occlusion enhances muscle adaptation and how these physiological responses differ between elite athletes and sedentary individuals.
