Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how clustered cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors affect ischemic preconditioning (IPC) in protecting against microvascular damage during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.
- The research involves 22 adults, comparing healthy controls against those with elevated CVD risk, using a randomized design to examine how well IPC can mitigate damage from reduced blood flow.
- Results show that while IPC helps healthy individuals prevent I/R injury effects, those with clustered CVD risk factors experience a significant impairment in this protective response, indicating challenges in applying IPC in high-risk patients.
Purpose: Many of the potential performance-enhancing properties of ischemic preconditioning suggest that the oxygen cost for a given endurance exercise workload will be reduced, thereby improving the economy of locomotion. The aim of this study was to identify whether ischemic preconditioning improves exercise economy in recreational runners.
Methods: A randomized sham-controlled crossover study was employed in which 18 adults (age 27 ± 7 years; BMI 24.
