Perceived exertion

Autoregulation during blood flow restricted exercise showed no clear effect on perceived exertion in humans.
“However, the main effect of condition (F (1,40) = 0.384, p = 0.846) and the interaction effect (time X condition) (F (2,80) = 0.052, p = 0.950) were not significant.”

Muscle hypertrophy
no changein humans1
Autoregulation during blood flow restricted exercise showed no clear effect on muscle hypertrophy in humans.
“However, the main effect of condition (AUTO vs. NONAUTO) was not significant (F (1,40) = 0.025, p = 0.875), nor was the interaction effect between time and condition (F (1,40) = 0.704, p = 0.406).”

Autoregulation during blood flow restricted exercise showed no clear effect on muscle strength in humans.
“However, the main effect of condition (F (1,40) = 0.1003, p = 0.753) and the interaction effect (time X condition) (F (1,40) = 0.2232, p = 0.639) were not significant.”
