Blood flow restriction during high-intensity interval training elicited a decline in exercise performance, with females demonstrating an exacerbated rate of change compared with males.
Does blood flow restriction during high-intensity interval cycling elicit different psychophysiological responses in females compared to males?
Blood flow restriction during HIIT rest periods exacerbates psychophysiological responses more in females than males.
To our knowledge, no study has explored sex differences in the neuromuscular, perceptual, and cardiorespiratory indices characterizing exercise tolerance during high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with blood flow restriction (BFR) applied only during rest periods. Our results suggest that BFR elicited a decline in exercise performance that could be attributed to integration of psychophysiological responses. However, this integration was sex-dependent where females demonstrated an exacerbated rate of change in these responses compared with males.
McClean et al. (Thu,) reported a other. High-intensity interval training with blood flow restriction vs. Males was evaluated on Neuromuscular, perceptual, and cardiorespiratory indices characterizing exercise tolerance. Blood flow restriction during high-intensity interval training elicited a decline in exercise performance, with females demonstrating an exacerbated rate of change compared with males.
