RESISTED WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FLOW RESTRICTION EFFECT OF BLOOD EXERCISE ON PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PERCEPTUAL MEASURES IN RECREATIONAL TRAINED MEN: A CROSSED, RANDOMIZED AND BLIND CLINICAL TEST PROTOCOL
Ergogenic resource; Ischemia; Swimming
Objective: To evaluate the effect of 01 partial ischemic preconditioning (IPC) cycle on the performance of 100 meters of freestyle.
Methods: The sample consisted of 16 swimmers (Age: 12.9 ± 0.88), affiliated with the Swimming Federation of Rio Grande do Norte. The athletes came to the laboratory on three occasions. On the first visit, anthropometric, hemodynamic measurements and a familiarization test were performed. Randomly, visits 02 and 03 were directed to perform 100 m of free swim preceded by 01 cycle of IPC or placebo (PLAC). The time (s) required to complete the test was scheduled by 3 blinded evaluators.
Results: There was no significant difference in the performance of the test presented in the PLAC and IPC interventions (75.75 and 75.68 seconds, respectively) (p = 0.916).
Conclusion: The ischemic preconditioning protocol tested in our study was not able to improve the performance of 100 meters of free swimming in adolescent athletes.
