Physiological effects of physical exercise combined with partial vascular occlusion: systematic review
Abstract
Introduction: Partial Vascular Occlusion (PVO) is a technique performed during physical exercise that aims to partially restrict arterial blood flow and totally restrict venous blood flow for a certain period. The respective study aims to identify evidence and systematically review the physiological effects of PVO associated with physical exercise in individuals, both in physical conditioning and in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Materials and methods: This is a systematic review, in which the Bireme and PubMed databases were consulted, scientific articles in English and Portuguese from journals indexed in the Medline, Lilacs, Physiotherapy Evidence Database and Scielo databases that were published between the years 2012 to 2019 were utilized and evaluated according to the methodological quality through the JADAD scale. In the construction process of this work, articles that were available in full with individual of both sexes who were healthy and who did not have any type of endothelial dysfunction and who were inserted in musculoskeletal rehabilitation programs or physical conditioning programs were included. Results: The hypoxic stimulus provided by the PVO causes direct biochemical responses in the segment to be stimulated and thereby triggers changes in the local metabolism and, therefore, leads the segment to adaptive responses. Conclusion: The events that occur due to hypoxic stimulation promote positive physiological effects to users of the method, such as, increased muscle strength, angiogenesis and improved endothelial function.
