Hemodynamic And Pressor Responses To Combination Of Yoga And Blood Flow Restriction, Savannah V. Wooten, Sten Stray-Gundersen, Hirofumi Tanaka
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Blood flow restriction (BFR) training has been increasingly incorporated into a more common activity of daily exercise (e.g., yoga). However, BFR may increase blood pressure and myocardial oxygen demand by augmenting vascular resistance. Yoga is characterized by systemic isometric exercises and accompanied by marked pressor responses. This raises the concern of exaggerated cardiovascular responses when yoga is performed with BFR. Purpose: To determine the impact of a combination of yoga and BFR on cardiovascular responses. Methods: Twenty young healthy participants (M =10, F=10) performed 20 yoga poses with and without BFR bands placed on both legs. Beat by beat blood …

Many smartphone applications available promote exercise engagement, specifically in short bouts of time. One such application “The 7-minute workout challenge” promotes a brief exercise bout, however details on the potential cardiometabolic health benefit is lacking. Purpose:To investigate the acute cardiometabolic responses of a 7-minute body-weight resistance exercise circuit (HICE) compared to a 7-minute high intensity interval training cycle protocol (HIIE). Methods: Apparently healthy and active young adults (N=12, 50% Female, 24.0±3.4 yr, BMI: 28.1±6.4 kg/m2) were enrolled in a randomized crossover study (HICE vs HIIE). The 12 HICE exercises were 30 seconds each using a standardized cadence, …
