Low-volume muscular endurance and strength training during 3-week forearm immobilization was effective in preventing functional deterioration

Table 1 Results of measurements of forearm circumference and reactive hyperemic oxygenation response of the IMM and IMM + TRN groups before and after immobilization.

oxy-Hb peak value, the peak value of oxygenated hemoglobin in the recovery phase after ischemia; oxy-Hb ΔT, the time from the end point of ischemia to oxy-Hb peak value; totalHb peak value, the peak value of total hemoglobin in the recovery phase after ischemia; totalHb ΔT, the time from the end point of ischemia to totalHb peak value. No significant group × time interaction was seen in the forearm circumference and reactive hyperemic oxygenation response either in IMM or IMM+TRN group. Values are mean ± SD.
