Metabolic adaptation
Resting ATP levels were lower after LIT with OCC compared to before training.
Low-intensity resistance training with vascular occlusion may lead to lower ATP levels in muscles, indicating increased energy demand.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Resting [ATP] was lower (P <or= 0.05) after LIT in both arms (CON: 20.5 +/- 0.5 vs 22.8 +/- 0.7, OCC: 18.2 +/- 0.6 vs 23.1 +/- 0.5 mmol.kg-1 dry weight), and the decrease was larger in the OCC arm (P <or= 0.05).
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving direct measurements and comparisons.
