About this study
Official title: The Influences of Single Chamber Vs. Multi-chamber Blood Flow Restriction Biceps Curls on Acute Arterial Stiffness, Perceptual Responses and Performance
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of single (SC) and multi-chamber (MC) blood flow restriction (BFR) cuff bicep exercise on indices of arterial stiffness, muscle morphology, and participant perception.
Read the detailed description
Twenty six adults aged 18-40 years old will undergo three treatment sessions (control (no BFR), SC BFR, and MC BFR) in a randomized order separated by one week. A familiarization session will also occur one week before starting the treatment period. Each subject will undergo a series of tests including anthropometry, ultrasonography of the carotid artery, applanation tonometry, ultrasonography of the vastus lateralis, blood pressure acquisition, body composition, and maximal strength assessments (1RM). The exercise trial will consist of sets of dumbbell bicep curls performed to failure with a 2-seconds concentric and 2-seconds eccentric cadence, at 20% of their 1RM using 60% of the supine limb occlusion pressure (LOP) with 1-minute rest intervals. Assessments will be performed immediately before and after the exercise bout during each treatment session. Two-way ANOVAs will be used to examine the main effects of treatment and treatment-order interaction on pulse wave velocity, muscle cross-sectional area, and perceptual response.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
DelfiDevice
Cuffs will be worn throughout the entire training session. Training session consist of lower intensity bicep curls. Four sets of wall squats will be performed to failure. Arterial stiffness and muscle morphological assessments will be conducted before and after the exercise.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| single chamber blood flow restriction cuff | Experimental | Single Chamber BFR (Delfi, Vancouver, Canada) training devices will be used for exercise and testing sessions (see attachment). Cuffs will be placed around the right and left proximal arm. The LOP will be set at 60% immediately before exercise and will be applied during the entire exercise set (approximately 30-60 seconds in duration) in accordance with manufacturer specifications. The cuffs will maintain pressure during training and rest periods. The LOP will be decreased to 0% immediately after the set is completed. Receives: Device: Delfi |
| Multiple chamber blood flow restriction cuff | Experimental | Multiple chamber BFR (B-Strong, Park City, UT) training devices will be used for exercise and testing sessions (see attachment). Cuffs will be placed around the right and left proximal arm. The LOP will be set at 60% immediately before exercise and will be applied during the entire exercise set (approximately 30-60 seconds in duration) in accordance with manufacturer specifications. The cuffs will maintain pressure during training and rest periods. The LOP will be decreased to 0% immediately after the set is completed. Receives: Device: Delfi |
| No BFR cuff | Placebo comparator | No cuff will be worn during the training session. Receives: Device: Delfi |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Arterial Stiffness
A measurement of vascular health.
Measured: Prior to and 10-minutes after the exercise intervention
Secondary outcomes (1)
Muscle Morphology
A measurement of bicep brachii cross sectional area
Measured: Prior to and immediately after the exercise intervention

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?
Arterial Stiffness (time frame: Prior to and 10-minutes after the exercise intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?

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 1 Jan 2025.
