Doppler Ultrasound-Based Leg Blood Flow Assessment During Single-Leg Knee-Extensor Exercise in an Uncontrolled Setting

Doppler Ultrasound-Based Leg Blood Flow Assessment During Single-Leg Knee-Extensor Exercise in an Uncontrolled Setting

This test-retest study evaluated leg blood flow measured by the Doppler ultrasound technique during single-leg knee-extensor exercise. The within-day, between-day, and inter-rater reliability of the method was investigated. The approach demonstrated high within-day and acceptable between-day reliability. However, the inter-rater reliability was unacceptably low during rest and at low...

Exercise Test for Evaluation of the Functional Efficacy of the Pig Cardiovascular System

Exercise Test for Evaluation of the Functional Efficacy of the Pig Cardiovascular System

The present protocol describes a large animal exercise test model to assess the functional capacity of the cardiovascular system for evaluating the efficiency of new therapies in the preclinical setting. It is comparable to a clinical exercise...

Assessment of Physical Activity Intensity with Accelerometers and Oxygen Consumption

Assessment of Physical Activity Intensity with Accelerometers and Oxygen Consumption

Here, we present a protocol to assess physical activity intensity levels measured with indirect calorimetry and two accelerometers (on the right wrist and waist) during an incremental walking-jogging test (from 0.84 to 2.37 m/s) on an oval track. The results show differences among the physical intensity assessed through those...

Functional Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound for Monitoring Cerebral Blood Flow

Functional Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound for Monitoring Cerebral Blood Flow

Functional transcranial Doppler ultrasound complements other functional imaging modalities, with its high temporal resolution measurement of stimulus-induced changes in cerebral blood flow within the basal cerebral arteries. This Methods paper gives step-by-step instructions for using functional transcranial Doppler ultrasound to perform a functional imaging...

Background:

Blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise, including KAATSU training, promotes muscle hypertrophy and strength gains.
BFR exercise is a potential alternative to high-load training for clinical and chronic disease populations.
Current BFR research often lacks clinically relevant physical function measures for daily living.

Conclusions:

Blood flow restriction exercise, across various modalities, effectively enhances objective physical function.
BFR exercise shows promise for improving ADL-related physical function in diverse populations.
Further research should integrate clinically relevant functional outcomes into BFR studies.
