The Acute Cardiorespiratory Response to Blood-flow Restricted Versus Traditional Exercise Training Regimens (CaRe BFR)
The Acute Cardiorespiratory Response to Blood-flow Restricted Versus Traditional Exercise Training Regimens (CaRe BFR):4 Randomized Crossover Studies
University of Zurich
24 participants
May 20, 2022
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The investigators hypothesize that BFR exercise regimens result in a different acute cardiorespiratory response pattern compared to traditional exercise regimens. Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that these patterns differ between healthy participants and participants with COPD. Regarding secondary objective, the investigators hypothesize that BFR results in lower blood pressure responses compared to traditional exercise training in both healthy and COPD participants.
