What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC), a safe and non-invasive method involving brief cycles of blood flow restriction and reperfusion, on lower limb explosive power and recovery in male collegiate basketball players. This randomized, placebo-controlled trial aims to understand how IPC affects physical performance and recovery markers during a 6-week post-season recovery training period. The study focuses on maintaining training quality and improving metabolic efficiency in basketball athletes. Participants are randomly assigned to either an IPC group receiving bilateral thigh compression at 220 mmHg or a placebo control group with a similar procedure at 20 mmHg. Both groups undergo the intervention twice weekly before routine basketball training sessions for 6 weeks. The intervention consists of three cycles of 5 minutes of ischemia followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion, totaling 30 minutes per session, with the cuff placed at the inguinal crease while the participant lies supine. Throughout the study, researchers assess lower limb explosive power through various jump tests and sprinting measures before and after the intervention. They also monitor physiological, biochemical, and morphological indices including blood lactate, hormone levels, body composition, and training load parameters. The study includes thorough safety monitoring and requires participants to complete the full 6-week protocol, with assessments at baseline and post-intervention to evaluate the outcomes.
