Key result

Intermittent lower-limb occlusion (220 mm Hg) enhanced recovery of eccentric power (ES = 1.38) and acceleration (ES = 1.24) at 24 hours compared to 15 mm Hg control.

Structured PICO

Does intermittent lower-limb occlusion improve recovery of power production and sprint performance after strenuous exercise?

P
Population
14 participants undergoing an exercise protocol of lower-body strength and power tests followed by repeated sprints, assessed immediately and at 24 hours.
I
Intervention
Intermittent unilateral lower-limb occlusion (2 × 3-min per leg) with a pressure of 220 mm Hg
C
Comparator
Intermittent unilateral lower-limb occlusion (2 × 3-min per leg) with a pressure of 15 mm Hg (control)
O
Outcome
Recovery of power production and sprint performance (countermovement jump test, 10- and 40-m sprint times, squat jump test) immediately and 24 h post-interventionsurrogate

Intermittent lower-limb occlusion applied after strenuous exercise enhances the recovery of muscle power and sprint performance.

Cite This Study

Beaven et al. (2012) studied Strenuous exercise recovery (n=14). Intermittent lower-limb occlusion vs. 15 mm Hg was evaluated on Recovery of power production and sprint performance. Intermittent lower-limb occlusion (220 mm Hg) enhanced recovery of eccentric power (ES = 1.38) and acceleration (ES = 1.24) at 24 hours compared to 15 mm Hg control.
