Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) in upper limb, lower limb, and combined lower and upper limbs on specific judo fitness test (SJFT) and anaerobic performance in judo athletes. In a randomized, crossover design, 13 judo athletes participated in this study and performed two SJFT with 90 second between trials and a RAST after 15 min rest, in four conditions: IPC Treatment in arms, legs, arms and legs, and a sham intervention. IPC treatment consisted of three 5-minute bouts of ischemia, followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion. One-way repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc test was used. IPC treatment in arms and legs resulted in increased number of total throws and improved index of SJFT2, peak power and mean power compared with other conditions (P≤0.05). IPC treatment in arms and legs also decreased the rate of perceives exertion compared with other conditions (P≤0.05). In conclusion, if ischemic preconditioning is applied in more limbs and with greater muscular tissue, it will improve SJFT and anaerobic power in judo athletes.
