The Acute Effects Of Different Blood Flow Restriction Settings On Blood Lactate, Electromyography And Leg Strength During Bilateral Knee Extensions, Guillermo Eduardo Perez

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

The current protocols being used for Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) exercise did not examine the effects of different Initial Restrictive Pressures (pressure applied to limb by cuff prior to inflation, IRP) during design. There are several research articles highlighting the importance of IRP and how it can create variability in results. Therefore it is necessary to evaluate the current BFR protocol against different IRP in order to determine reliability. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of different blood flow restriction setting on 1) the level of blood lactate production, 2) neuromuscular activation (the changes …
