Effect of Acute Resistance Exercise with Different Level of Blood Flow Restriction on Acute Changes in Muscle Thickness, Blood Lactate, CK, and Oxidative Stress in Male Adults

Abstract

To evaluate the effects of low-load resistance exercise (RE) with intermittent blood flow restriction (BFR) on the muscle thickness, blood lactate, creatine kinase (CK) and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) levels in male. METHODS: The study included 10 male college students aged 23.5±1.0 years who underwent the following experimental protocols in random order on separate days (72 hour): 3 sessions at a 30% one-repetition maximum (1RM) RE with BFR (individual systolic blood pressure, 150% systolic blood pressure and 200% systolic blood pressure); 1 session at 60% 1RM RE without BFR (CON). The thigh circumference, TBARS and CK levels were measured before exercise (pre-exercise) and post-exercise and lactate, heart rate (HR), systolic (SP) and diastolic blood pressure were measured pre-, post-exercise, 5-, 15-and 30-minutes recovery. RESULTS: Thigh circumference significantly increased following 30% 1RM with SP (p=.10) and SP 200% (p=.36) BFR compared to 60% 1RM without BFR but there was an increasing tendency in 30% 1RM with SP 150% (p=.83) BFR. Additionally, there were significant increases in TBARS (p<.05) and CK (p<.05) in the all protocols post-exercise samples compared with the pre-exercise samples but no significant group (p=.113, p=.870, respectively) or interaction (p=.385, p=.132, respectively) effect. CONCLUSIONS: 30% 1-RM with BFR may effectively increase the circumference of the thigh muscle compared to 60% 1RM without BFR. Although both 30% 1RM with BFR (SP, SP 150%, SP 200%) and 60% 1RM without BFR temporarily increased TBARS production and CK, It does not cause damage.

Acute effect of low-load resistance exercise with blood flow restriction on oxidative stress biomarkers: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…After removing the duplicates, the remaining articles were submitted to a title and abstract analysis and 18 articles were considered potentially eligible. Eight were subsequently excluded due to the following reasons: not using oxidative stress biomarkers [28,29], using aerobic exercise [30,31], the subjects had chronic kidney disease [32], overweight [33], received protein supplementation [34], or did not include a LLRE (�50% of 1RM) or HLRE (�70% of 1RM) group [35]. Three articles fulfilling the inclusion criteria were found after screening the reference list of the included studies [36][37][38].…”

“…Blood CK concentrations are significantly higher compared with baseline levels for 24 to 48 h after downhill running [ 17 ] and high-intensity uphill running [ 18 ], which are considered renal exercises [ 4 ]. Brown et al [ 19 ] reported an increase in blood CK concentration 72 h after lower-extremity renal exercises in young men and women. In addition, muscle damage likely leads to inflammatory reactions, and muscle damage and inflammation are related [ 20 ].…”
