Snippit 100 ► Ischemic Preconditioning – effects of 7days of passive BFR on cycling performance

Hi everyone,

We hope you are enjoying the mini-series on Ischemic Preconditioning. The last 2 episodes I thought introduce the concept really well (thanks to Sam Halley) followed up by the acute effects on both cardio and resistance exercise performance. Today’s article review looks at a longitudinal approach to IPC. Although only 7 days it gives you an insight into the potential of something that is very easy to apply.

Stay tuned for the next 2 episodes expanding the concept of passive BFR and the uses in both general and sporting environment.

The article I review is called:

The effect of 1 week of repeated ischaemic leg preconditioning on simulated Keirin cycling performance: a randomised trial.

Lindsay, A., Petersen, C., Blackwell, G., Ferguson, H., Parker, G., Steyn, N., & Gieseg, S. P. (2017).
