ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the acute effects of low-load blood flow restriction (LLBFR) and low-load (LL) resistance exercise on muscle excitation, neuromuscular efficiency, and average torque.METHODS:
Eleven men (age±SD=22±3yrs) randomly performed LLBFR and LL that consisted of 30 unilateral leg extensions at 30% of one-repetition maximum while surface electromyography (sEMG) and torque were simultaneously assessed. Polynomial regression analyses and slope comparisons were performed to examine patterns of responses and rates of change.RESULTS:
sEMG amplitude increased for LLBFR (9 of 11) and LL (8 of 11) and between composite responses (R2=0.939-0.981). For LLBFR, sEMG amplitude increased to a greater extent for 5 of the 11 individual and for the composite responses. Similarly, neuromuscular efficiency decreased for LLBFR (8 of 11) and LL (5 of 11) as well as the composite responses r2=0.902-0.929, but the decrease was larger for LLBFR than LL for the individual (4 of 11) responses. For average submaximal concentric torque, there were individual increases, decreases, and no changes for the composite responses (R2=0.198-0.325).CONCLUSION:
LLBFR elicited greater fatigue-induced increases in muscle excitation and decreases in neuromuscular efficiency than LL, but neither LLBFR nor LL affected average submaximal concentric torque.Palavras-chave
