Ischemic Preconditioning in Endurance Athletes

March 18, 2014 updated by: Maastricht University Medical Center

Influence of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Cardiac Function After Endurance Exercise

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning on biochemical and functional indices of cardiac function induced by a 30 km run in healthy trained long distance runners.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: BASIC_SCIENCE
  • Allocation: RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: CROSSOVER
  • Masking: SINGLE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
NO_INTERVENTION: Sham RIC
Control treatment (sham RIC) will consist of four 5-minute simulated inflations of a blood pressure cuff placed on the upper arm. The inflations will be separated by 5-minute periods when the blood pressure cuff will be deflated.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Remote ischemic conditioning
Blood pressure cuff placed on upper arm and inflated to 200mmHg for 5 minutes then deflated for 5 minutes - this cycle is repeated a total of 4 times.
Other: Remote ischemic preconditioning
Blood pressure cuff placed on upper arm and inflated to 200mmHg for 5 minutes then deflated for 5 minutes - this cycle is repeated a total of 4 times.
