Table 2.
ROS generation and IGF-1 concentration (mean ± SD) from pre- to post-intervention in all groups. Statistical differences were measured using RMANOVA.
| Variable | BFR-CH | BFR-PLA | CON | RMANOVA | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre | Post | Pre | Post | Pre | Post | |||
| IGF-1 (ng/ml) | 100 ± 47 | 115 ± 52 | 119 ± 23 | 130 ± 23 | 112 ± 39 | 117 ± 36 | p = .705 | |
| ROS (μmol/l/min) | Pre-Ex | 0.952 ± 0.091 | 0.737 ± 0.172 | 0.882 ± 0.116 | 0.736 ± 0.112 | - | - | p = .229† |
| Post-Ex | 0.943 ± 0.114 | 0.781 ± 0.138 | 0.938 ± 0.103 | 0.802 ± 0.132 | - | - | p = .741† | |
Pre-Ex = pre- exercise, Post-Ex = post- exercise, IGF-1 = Insulin-like growth factor, ROS = reactive oxygen species,
† = RMANOVA with Pre-Ex and Post-Ex as within-factors (acute experiments)
