HIPERTROFIA MUSCULAR A BASE DEL ENTRENAMIENTO ISQUEMICO

Abstract

Muscle hypertrophy (MH) characterized by the increase of myofibrils in the transverse area should not be overlooked, it should be kept in an optimal state if we focus on the sports field or to avoid musculoskeletal complications in the future. In recent times, an innovative method has emerged that continues to be researched to generate hypertrophy in less time and with light loads known as ischemic training, which partially restricts blood flow to the muscles through the use of compression cuffs or bands. Objective: To carry out a systematic and meticulous investigation of how ischemic training acts on the muscle in order to generate hypertrophy. Methodology: A systematic review was carried out in the Google Scholar, Pubmed and Scopus databases using the prism format guidelines, including a total of 9 articles. Results and discussion: It was verified that through the ischemic training protocol with low loads in a moderate range of blood occlusion MH can be generated, however, there was a controversy as to which type of training is the most appropriate to achieve a greater amount of MH in a short period due to the little or no information that was found when conducting the research
