Examining The Effect of Blood Flow Restricted Aerobic Training on Citrate Synthase Activity in Young Healthy Adults

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 19 (actual)
• Sponsor: Brendon Gurd, PhD · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 30 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

This parallel-arm trial study investigates the effects of restricting arterial blood flow during cycling exercise on citrate synthase. Participants will be randomized to either a blood flow restricted or non-blood flow restricted exercise training group. Both groups will complete seven, 30-minute exercise sessions over a 14-day period.

Conditions

• Mitochondrial Biogenesis
