Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a non-invasive technique that alternately performs blood flow occlusion and reperfusion by applying a pneumatic tourniquet to the proximal limbs. IPC could create a hypoxia environment, and thus improving aerobic and anaerobic exercise performance. IPC has been reported to improve exercise tolerance, e.g., time to exhaustion, therefore, IPC has been considered to increase resistance exercise performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of IPC on resistance exercise performance through reviewing previous studies from PubMed, Scopus, and MEDLINE databases. Previous studies were analyzed in according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. In this review, 24 studies were collected, and the average study quality was good (6.6 ± 0.7). For the isometric exercise, IPC could not improve the kinetic parameters of maximum voluntary contraction, but it could extend the time to exhaustion of non-maximum voluntary contraction by 29% and 27%, respectively, while comparing with control and sham treatment. For the isokinetic exercise, IPC could increase the average and total force of knee extension and flexion by 13%, while comparing with sham. For the isotonic exercise, IPC could improve the number of repetitions and the training volume of single-joint resistance exercises by 14% and 20%, respectively, while comparing with control treatment. For the multi-joint resistance, IPC could also increase the number of repetitions and the training volume by 39% and 36%, respectively, compared with control treatment. When compared with sham treatment, IPC could enhance the training volume of single-joint resistance exercises by approximately 19%, and could increase the number of repetitions and the training volume of multi-joint resistance exercises by 32% and 33%, respectively. Overall, performing IPC (cuff pressure set at 220-250 mmHg, 3-4 cycles of 5 minutes occlusion and 5 minutes reperfusion) on the upper or lower limbs 5-30 minutes before resistance exercise might improve the time to exhaustion of isometric exercise and the force of isokinetic exercise, as well as the number of repetitions and total training volume of isotonic exercise. |
