About this study

Official title: The Effect OfF Low-Intensity Resistance Exercise Training Combined With Blood Flow Restruction On Triceps Brachii Muscle Volume And Performance

It was to compare the effect of low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction (LL-BFR) and high-intensity resistance training (HI-RT) on muscle strength, endurance and volume, functional performance, and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

The study included 13 young women. It is a controlled study designed for individuals to perform two different exercise protocols unilaterally. The persons were randomly allocated into two groups as LI- BFR (Group I, n = 13) and HI-RT (Group II, n = 13). Both groups received training for 6 weeks and 3 days a week. Blood flow restriction was performed only in group I.

Read the detailed description

Both sides triceps muscle thickness, triceps and biceps strength and endurance, functional performances (upper extremity Y balance test (UQYBT)), delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) were evaluated before and after training.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Low Intensity Exercises with Blood Flow RestrictionOther

    In the exercise protocol, people exercised resistance between 20% and 30% of 1 MaxRepetition with free weight. In addition, blood flow was restricted in 70% of the arterial occlusion pressure of the individual with the help of a cuff during exercise.

  • High Intensity Resistant ExerciseOther

    People included in the study did resistance exercise with free weight at 70-80% of 1 MT.

What is being measured

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

  1. triceps muscle thickness

    Triceps brachial (TB) long head thickness was measured using the Esaote mylab C series ultrasound device.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. triceps and biceps strength

    Triceps brachial muscle strength was evaluated with an isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex HUMAC / NORM, CSMI, 2004). Isometric muscle strength measurement was performed at the beginning and end of the study at angular velocities of 0-150 ° elbow range, 60 ° / s (strength measurement)

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. triceps and biceps endurance

    Triceps brachial muscle strength was evaluated with an isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex HUMAC / NORM, CSMI, 2004). Isometric muscle strength measurement was performed at the beginning and end of the study at angular velocities of 0-150 ° elbow range, 180 ° / s (endurance measurement).

    Measured: 6 weeks

  4. functional performances

    Upper Extremity Y Balance Test

    Measured: 6 weeks

  5. delayed-onset muscle soreness

    Visual Analog Scale

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low Intensity Exercises with Blood Flow Restriction and High Intensity Resistant Exercise in people with Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, run by Sultan Abdulhamid Han Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 16 Feb 2021. 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?

triceps muscle thickness (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Feb 2021.
