Summary

This study investigates low-load, cuff-assisted training to improve mitochondrial capacity. The intervention is carried out using automated pressure cuffs, applying an individualized pressure of 70% of the limb occlusion pressure. This approach reflects the current scientific consensus for safe and effective use in clinical populations.

Within a rehabilitation setting, two training modalities are compared: intermittent strength training and alternating continuous endurance training. Muscle oxygen saturation is measured non-invasively using near-infrared spectroscopy.

Conditions

  • Physical Deconditioning

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Application of pressure cuffs during endurance training

Pre/Post comparison of mitochondrial capacity of the m. vastus lateralis muscle and muscle morphology between the groups

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Conventional clinical rehabilitation program without the use of pressure cuffs
