1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

objectivesThe aim of the study is to compare the effects of low-intensity strength training applied with blood flow restriction (BFR) method to the lower and upper extremities with classical hypertrophy (CH) training on isokinetic strength parameters, muscle thickness (MT), and athletic performance.

methodsThe participants were divided into 2 groups as BFRG and CHG. The BFRG applied the strength training program with 20-40% of their 1 repetitive maximal (1 RM) and the CH with 60-80% of 1 RM for 8 weeks, including the lower and upper extremities. To analyze the results of different protocols (BFRG and CHG), as well as pre and post-test measurements and the protocol by time interaction effect, a repeated-measures two-way ANOVA test was employed.

resultsIn both groups observed isokinetic strength parameters, MT and athletic performance were increased similarly (p<0.05).

conclusionsBFR with low-intensity strength training elicits similar adaptations to that obtained with high-intensity strength training without BFR.
