Application of blood flow restriction in hypoxic environment augments muscle deoxygenation without compromising repeated sprint exercise performance.

ABSTRACT:

New findings

What is the central question of this study? Does applying blood flow restriction during the rest periods of repeated sprint exercise in a hypoxic environment lead to greater local hypoxia within exercising muscles without compromising training workload? What is the main finding and its importance? Repeated sprint exercise with blood flow restriction administered during rest periods under systemic hypoxia led to severe local hypoxia within the exercised muscles without a reduction in power output. The maintained power output might be due to elevated neuromuscular activation. Accordingly, the proposed repeated sprint exercise in the current study may be an effective training modality.

Abstract

Repeated sprint exercise (RSE) is a popular training modality for a wid
