Key result
Muscle ischemic preconditioning did not improve average speed during a 5000 m self-paced running test compared to reference or sham tests (4.60 vs 4.63 and 4.62 m/s, respectively).
Why the study?
Does muscle ischemic preconditioning improve average speed during self-paced exercise in well-trained male runners?

Does muscle ischemic preconditioning improve average speed during self-paced exercise in well-trained male runners?
Absolute Event Rate: 4.6% vs 4.62%
Muscle ischemic preconditioning does not improve performance during self-paced 5,000 m running in well-trained athletes.
Tocco et al. (2014) conducted an RCT in Healthy well-trained runners (n=11). Muscle ischemic preconditioning vs. Reference test and sham test was evaluated on Average speed (m/s). Muscle ischemic preconditioning did not improve average speed during a 5000 m self-paced running test compared to reference or sham tests (4.60 vs 4.63 and 4.62 m/s, respectively).
