Local ischemic preconditioning improves skeletal muscle blood flow and vasodilation during exercise in older adults
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Our current data show that local, but not remote, IPC can acutely improve blood flow and sympathetic-mediated vasoconstriction in exercising skeletal muscle of older adults. These findings extend previous studies demonstrating beneficial effects of local IPC on the regulation of skeletal muscle blood flow in young adults and may explain some of the exercise performance-related improvements commonly reported in the literature.
