Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Significant difference of variables: cross-sectional area measured quadriceps with computed tomography, muscle strength measured with the maximum repetition test, muscle power measured with the force platform and functional performance measured functional tests after 18 weeks of intervention .;A significant difference was observed (p 0.05); was no difference in muscle strength (p 0.05 ); there was a significant difference (p <0.05) for the functional tests: supine up with M%= - 28.70% for p BFRG and M% = - 13,20 for the TGF, the test sitting and standing of chair the M% = 36.80 for BFRG and M% = 33.83 for the TGF for the test timed up and go test the M% = - 19.47 for BFRG and M% = - 10.76 to TGF. There was no significant difference (p <0.05) in muscle power and functional testing of normal and maximum walking speed. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Significant difference of variables: muscle strength measured with the maximum repetition test, muscle power measured with the force platform and functional performance measured functional tests after the 10-week intervention.;There was no significant difference (p> 0.05) in muscle power, muscle strength and functional tests of lifting the supine position and usual and maximum speeds walk after 10 weeks of intervention. The functional test and sit up from the chair and go up and timed showed significant difference after 10 weeks of intervention (p <0.05). | — |
