About this study

Official title: Acute Effects of Exercises Combined With Blood Flow Restriction on Strength, Proprioception and Functional Motor Performance in Healthy Individuals

Purpose of the study is; to investigate the acute effects of exercises combined with blood flow restriction on strength, proprioception and functional motor performance in healthy individuals. The investigators hypothesized that blood flow restriction exercises has a positive effect on strength, proprioception and functional motor performance.

Read the detailed description

60 healthy individuals will randomized into 3 groups of 20 people each. Participants will be held in a familiarization session before 3-4 days the actual evaluation. Elbow bending exercises with blood flow restriction will be performed to the blood flow restriction (BFR) group, elbow bending exercises without blood flow restriction will be performed to the exercise group and control group will not receive any interventions. Participants will be evaluated before and after the exercise session. Control group is going to rest for 10 minutes before the second evaluation. Evaluation protocol includes; muscle strength measurement with digital hand dynamometer, shoulder and elbow proprioception evaluation with inclinometer, Upper Extremity Closed Kinetic Chain Stabilization Test, Functional Throwing Performance Index and Modified Pull-Up Test.

Study groups in NCT04206345
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Blood Flow Restriction GroupExperimentalElbow bending exercises with resistance exercise band (%20 of 1 maximum repetition) for one session. Blood flow restriction band will be placed during exercise session. The first set of exercises will be 30 repetitions then 3 sets of 15 repetitions. Totally 75 repetitions will be performed. 30 seconds rest interval between sets will be given.
Receives: Other: exercise with blood flow restriction
Exercise GroupExperimentalElbow bending exercises with resistance exercise band (%70 of 1 maximum repetition) will be performed for one session.
Receives: Other: exercise
Control GroupNo intervention10 minutes resting period will be given between evaluation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Strength

    Change of biceps muscle strength(in kg, with hand held dynamometer)

    Measured: baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Shoulder proprioception

    Change of shoulder proprioception for 100 abduction (with bubble inclinometer)

    Measured: baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session

  2. Elbow proprioception

    change of elbow proprioception for three degrees: 45, 60 and 75 (with digital inclinometer)

    Measured: baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session

  3. Modified Pull-Up Test

    Number of pull-ups will be recorded

    Measured: baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session

  4. Upper Extremity Closed Kinetic Chain Stabilization Test

    This test will be occurred in plank position. Participant will touch with one hand to other while maintaining the position. Number of touch will be recorded.

    Measured: baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session

  5. Functional Throwing Performance Index

    Participants will throw a ball to shot a frame on a wall. Number of correct shots will be recorded

    Measured: baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing exercise with blood flow restriction and exercise in people with Healthy Individuals, run by Dokuz Eylul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Strength (time frame: baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Aug 2020.
