Effects of the Q-Collar During High-Intensity Cycling Exercise
Cardiovascular, Cerebral, and Performance Responses to Q-Collar™ Use in a 5-km Cycling Time Trial
研究概览
详细说明
This randomized crossover study examined the effects of Q-Collar use during high-intensity cycling exercise. Recreationally trained male participants completed two laboratory testing sessions in randomized order: a 5-kilometer cycling time trial while wearing the Q-Collar and a 5-kilometer cycling time trial without the Q-Collar. The Q-Collar applies mild bilateral compression to the internal jugular veins and is designed to increase cerebral blood volume.
During each trial, cardiovascular responses were assessed continuously, while prefrontal cortex oxygenation was measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Blood lactate and ratings of perceived exertion were assessed during exercise, and cognitive performance was evaluated before and after each cycling trial. Cycling performance was also recorded.
The study was designed to determine whether wearing the Q-Collar alters physiological responses to high-intensity exercise, particularly cardiovascular function and prefrontal cortex oxygenation, and whether these responses are accompanied by changes in cognitive or cycling performance. The crossover design allowed each participant to complete both conditions and therefore serve as his own control.

实验性的:Q-Collar Then Control
Participants completed a 5-kilometer cycling time trial while wearing the Q-Collar, followed by a control 5-kilometer cycling time trial without the Q-Collar after a washout period of at least 72 hours.
|
The Q-Collar™ is a wearable neck device that applies mild bilateral compression to the internal jugular veins.
Participants wore the Q-Collar during a 5-kilometer cycling time trial.
The device was individually fitted according to manufacturer guidelines and remained in place throughout the exercise trial.
