Brief Summary

Evidence regarding the effectiveness of blood flow restriction during isokinetic exercises is insufficient. When the literature is reviewed, it is seen that there are very few studies investigating the effect of isokinetic training program with blood flow restriction on muscle strength and endurance in healthy athletes. In line with this information, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an 8-week isokinetic training program combined with blood flow restriction on knee flexor and extensor maximal muscle strength and endurance in runners.

Conditions

Blood Flow Restriction

Keywords

blood flow restriction (BFR); isokinetic training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluation of lower extremity muscle strength and muscular endurance using isokinetic dynamometry in runners who met the inclusion criteria for the study.

  Isokinetic knee flexor and extensor muscles strength and endurance were evaluated with the isokinetic dynamometer. All the athletes underwent twice a week for 8 weeks of isokinetic training protocol. Both groups performed the same isokinetic training protocol. Blood flow restriction was applied to the BFR group while the athletes doing isokinetic training protocol, but not to the control group. Isokinetic knee flexor and extensor muscles strength and endurance were re- evaluated at the end of the intervention (48 hours after the last training session).

Study Arms (2)

The isokinetic training group with blood flow restriction (BFR Group)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

For the BFR, the occlusion pressure was set to 80% of arterial occlusion pressure as determined. The isokinetic training protocol for the knee flexor and extensor muscles consisted of 3 sets of 10 repetitions in 60°/sec and 3 sets of 30 repetitions in 180°/sec for 8 weeks, 2 times per week for 16 sessions.

Device: the isokinetic training group with blood flow restriction

OTHER

The isokinetic training group without blood flow restriction. The isokinetic training protocol for the knee flexor and extensor muscles consisted of 3 sets of 10 repetitions in 60°/sec and 3 sets of 30 repetitions in 180°/sec for 8 weeks, 2 times per week for 16 sessions

Device: the isokinetic training group without blood flow restriction
