Summary

This research study revolves around the physiological outcomes of using post-exercise blood flow restriction (BFR) with high intensity short interval training (ST) The main aims of this study are to compare (i) aerobic performance outcomes, and (ii) anaerobic and muscular performance outcomes - between 2 groups of participants after either undergoing 3 weeks of ST + post-exercise BFR (BFR-ST) or traditional ST.

Conditions

  • Exercise Performance

Interventions

OTHER

BFR-ST

Undergo 9 sessions of high intensity short interval training involving 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions of 30 secs interval cycling and 30 secs recovery at 100-110% of maximal aerobic power. In between sets there will be 3 mins of passive rest. Blood flow restriction will be applied for 2 mins during the passive rest at 80% of limb occlusion pressure.

OTHER

ST

Undergo 9 sessions of high intensity short interval training involving 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions of 30 secs interval cycling and 30 secs recovery at 100-110% of maximal aerobic power. In between sets there will be 3 mins of passive rest. Cycling will be conducted in an environmental chamber and participants informed that the altitude is set to 2500m - actual altitude will be sea level.
