The Effects of IPC Before and During Training on Some Functional and Hemodynamic Factors in Female Athletes

The aim of this study was to determining the effect of ischemic pre-conditioning )IPC) before and during training on some physiological factors. Thirty female athletes voluntarily selected. Firstly, the subjects were divided on the basis of maximum power output by an incremental test to 3 groups; normoxia (Nor=10), ischemia before (BHIT=10) and during training (DHIT=10). Accordingly, the interval training and IPC were conducted for 7 weeks. Blood sampling, functional tests and legs’ muscles strength were measured in the first and eighth weeks. and to compare the differences between baseline and week 8th the dependent t-test and to determine differences of between groups variables, one-way ANOVA with post hoc Bonferroni test were carried out. The results showed that the effect of exercise on variables Pmax, VO2max, time to exhaustion and muscle strength in the legs and BHIT Nor groups improved. Compare Bonferroni test at VO2max values, Pmax, leg muscle strength, lactate and creatine kinase in three groups improved significantly in the group BHIT of the two groups and DHIT Nor was the exception of creatine kinase. It seems 7 weeks of training IPC before exercise would be useful to Improve physical and physiological but, probably the IPC during exercise will not improve the Physiological ability.
