Resisted exercise with blood flow restriction affects mood state and muscle power in a similar fashion to high load exercise

The objective of this study was to analyze the acute effect of resistance exercise with and without restrict in of blood flow on the state of mood and muscle power in basketball athletes. The sample was composed by 10 basketball athletes of the Paraíba Team - JP, Who performed two sessions of strength exercise in a randomized way: a) low load resisted exercise with blood flow restriction (LLRE+BFR) and b) high load resisted exercise (HL+RE), with application of BRUMS before, immediately after and 30 minutes after the protocols, as well as the use of vertical jump in both training sessions, performed before, immediately after, 15 and 30 minutes after the exercises. The study indicate dincreases in fatigue after application of both protocols (p< 0.05) and a significant reduction in vigor for (LLRE+BFR) immediately after the training session (p< 0.05), generating anincrease in the total mood disturbance (TMD) of individuals. However, the iceberg profile initially presented on LLRE+BFR, seemstobere established after 30 minutes of training. Regarding the heigh tof the jump, a significant decrease was observed in both protocol suntil 15 minutes after the exercises (p< 0.05). It is concluded that an LLRE+BFR or HLRE session can negatively affect the perception of vigor and fatigue and muscle Power after exercise, however, 30 minutes after the exercises the mood state and neuromuscular performance return to rest levels.
