[ 1 ] - Effects of remote limb ischemic preconditioning on pulmonary function tests and maximal oxygen uptake

Introduction: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protects skeletal muscles from ischemia-reperfusion injury and improves physical exercise performance. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether application of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) of upper limbs would affect the pulmonary function tests and the maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Methods: Twenty healthy trained...
