Clinical Trial Summary

This research study revolves around the physiological outcomes of using post-exercise blood flow restriction (BFR) with high intensity short interval training (ST) The main aims of this study are to compare (i) aerobic performance outcomes, and (ii) anaerobic and muscular performance outcomes - between 2 groups of participants after either undergoing 3 weeks of ST + post-exercise BFR (BFR-ST) or traditional ST.


Clinical Trial Description

This research study revolves around the physiological outcomes of using post-exercise blood flow restriction (BFR) with high-intensity interval exercise training (HIIT), specifically high intensity short interval training (ST) protocol of 30s work, 30s rest, for the recreational endurance athlete. In previous research, it has been shown that using BFR during rest intervals of a ST protocol would elicit greater physiological stresses in terms of higher heart rate, greater muscle activation, reduced oxygenation within the muscle tissue during exercise, and increased blood lactate post-exercise as compared with the control condition. However, the physiological outcomes of this type of training method over a longer-term (9 sessions over 3 weeks) have not been explored. The main aims of this study is to compare the physiological outcomes, - (i) aerobic performance outcomes, and (ii) anaerobic and muscular performance outcomes - between 2 groups of participants after either undergoing 3 weeks of ST + post-exercise BFR (BFR-ST) or traditional ST . The hypotheses for this study are: the BFR-ST group would experience a (i) greater improvement in maximal aerobic capacity, function and time trial performance and, (ii) greater improvement in anaerobic power and capacity as well as muscular strength and power, as compared with the ST group. ;
