PEIC may preserve 24-h performance after exhaustive cycling; leaves open its utility in recovery protocols pending larger trials.
Does post-exercise ischemic conditioning prevent declines in exercise performance at 24 hours in trained cyclists?
Post-exercise ischemic conditioning prevents the decline in exercise performance typically seen 24 hours after a maximal incremental cycling test in trained cyclists.
