Effects of Ischemic Pre and Postconditioning on Indirect Markers of muscle damage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

SUMMARY Introduction. Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) occurs following unaccustomed or eccentric exercise. Ischemic conditioning applied passively before (IPCb) or after (IPCa) exercise may mitigate EIMD. However, IPC effects on indirect markers of EIMD are not fully understood. Objective. To evaluate IPCb and IPCa effects on indirect markers of EIMD. Methods. We screened randomized clinical trials … Continued
