Implication

Randomized trial examines lower-limb anaerobic performance after ischemic preconditioning in female athletes, suggesting potential for training enhancement.

Key Points

The aim was to assess the effects of ischemic preconditioning on lower-limb anaerobic performance and neuromuscular function in female athletes.
Twenty-two female second-level athletes were randomly assigned to either IPC or sham group.
IPC involved 4 cycles of 5 minutes of ischemia followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion at 220 mmHg for seven days.
Performance measures included 30-s Wingate performance, heart rate, blood lactate, surface electromyography, and HbO in the DLPFC.
IPC group showed greater increases in average power and total work compared to sham (P < 0.05).
No significant differences in peak power or fatigue index between groups (P > 0.05).
No differences in heart rate, blood lactate, electromyography frequency, or DLPFC HbO levels (P > 0.05).
