Abstract
- Lauver, JD, Moran, A, Guilkey, JP, Johnson, KE, Zanchi, NE, and Rotarius, TR. Acute responses to cycling exercise with blood flow restriction during various intensities. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2021-The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute physiological responses during cycling at various intensities with blood flow restriction (BFR). Participants (N = 9; V[Combining Dot Above]O2peak = 36.09 ± 5.80 ml·kg-1·min-1) performed 5 protocols: high-intensity (HIGH), control (CON-90), 90% of ventilatory threshold (VT) work rate with BFR (90-BFR), 70% of VT with BFR (70-BFR), and 30% V[Combining Dot Above]O2peak with BFR (30-BFR). Protocols consisted of five 2-minute work intervals interspersed with 1-minute recovery intervals. Blood flow restriction pressure was 80% of limb occlusion pressure. V[Combining Dot Above]O2, muscle excitation, tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), discomfort, and level of perceived exertion (RPE) were assessed. Muscle excitation was higher during HIGH (302.9 ± 159.9 %BSL [baseline]) compared with 70-BFR (99.7 ± 76.4 %BSL) and 30-BFR (98.2 ± 70.5 %BSL). StO2 was greater during 90-BFR (40.7 ± 12.5 [INCREMENT]BSL), 70-BFR (34.4 ± 15.2 [INCREMENT]BSL), and 30-BFR (31.9 ± 18.7 [INCREMENT]BSL) compared with CON-90 (4.4 ± 11.5 [INCREMENT]BSL). 90-BFR (39.6 ± 12.0 [INCREMENT]BSL) resulted in a greater StO2-Avg compared with HIGH (20.5 ± 13.8 [INCREMENT]BSL). Also, HIGH (23.68 ± 5.31 ml·kg-1·min-1) resulted in a greater V[Combining Dot Above]O2 compared with 30-BFR (15.43 ± 3.19 ml·kg-1·min-1), 70-BFR (16.65 ± 3.26 ml·kg-1·min-1), and 90-BFR (18.28 ± 3.89 ml·kg-1·min-1); 90-BFR (intervals: 4 = 15.9 ± 2.3; intervals: 5 = 16.4 ± 2.5) resulted in a greater RPE compared with 30-BFR (intervals: 4 = 13.3 ± 1.4; intervals: 5 = 13.7 ± 1.7) during intervals 4 and 5. These results suggest that when adding BFR to various intensities of aerobic exercise, consideration should be given to peak work and VT to provide a balance between high local physiological stress and perceptual responses.
