The dynamics of appendicular muscle mass after strength training with blood flow restriction in individuals with metabolic syndrome
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of blood flow restriction strength training on the indicators of appendicular skeletal muscle mass in individuals with metabolic syndrome. Research methods: analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, randomized controlled trial based on CONSORT guidelines and in accordance with the TIDieR checklist, assessment of anthropometry, biochemical blood analysis, bioimpedance measurement, methods of statistical processing. Research results and conclusions. It has been established that low-intensity resistance training combined with blood flow restriction, as well as high-intensity strength training, contributes to an increase in appendicular skeletal muscle mass in men with metabolic syndrome.
