The effect of ischemic preconditioning with variable timing on the anaerobic performance of active female

It has been stated that ischemia preparation can have a positive effect on performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ischemic preconditioning with different time intervals on the anaerobic performance of active female. 21 active female were selected and participated in the study. The study design was cross-over. Subjects were randomly assigned to three positions. The one experimental group performed, three sets of five minutes of vascular occlusion with five minutes’ rest between each set and immediately after the third occlusion, tests were taken. Two experimental group were exactly the same as the first group, except that between the third occlusion until the start of the tests, 10 minutes of rest are considered. In the control group, the elastic band was closed just behind the throat without any pressure on the thigh. Analysis of variance with repeated measurements was used to check the mean difference of the desired variables. The results indicated a significant increase in anaerobic power in Sargent jump in experimental group two compared to experimental group one and control (P<0.05). Regarding relative peak power in the Wingate test and anaerobic power with the Ergo jump test, there was no significant difference between the groups. According to the results of this research, the implementation of ischemia preconditioning, 10 minutes before the activity, with the intensity and duration applied in this research, has a greater effect on the vertical jump ability.
