Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a lower number of repetitions performed until concentric failure during the unilateral elbow flexion exercise with a load corresponding to 20 percent of one repetition maximum in the blood flow restriction condition compared with the control condition, with an estimated effect size greater than 0.8 according to Cohen’s d, with repetition performance determined by the total count of repetitions completed across all sets performed in each experimental session | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that ratings of perceived exertion will not differ between the blood flow restriction condition and the control condition during the unilateral elbow flexion exercise performed at 20 percent of one repetition maximum, with perceived exertion assessed after each set using the Borg scale from 6 to 20;It is expected to find greater perceived discomfort during the unilateral elbow flexion exercise performed with a load corresponding to 20 percent of one repetition maximum in the blood flow restriction condition compared with the control condition, with perceived discomfort assessed after each set using the Borg CR10 scale;It is expected to find more negative affective responses during the unilateral elbow flexion exercise performed with a load corresponding to 20 percent of one repetition maximum in the blood flow restriction condition compared with the control condition, with affect assessed after each set using the Feeling Scale | — |
