What did studies of Four-limb linkage training find?

4

Studies of Four-limb linkage training measured 4 outcomes; the most studied are TXNIP (1 study), lung function (1) and dyspnea (1).

TXNIP

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Four-limb linkage training decreases TXNIP in humans.

    “whereas TXNIP mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly decreased at Post 8-week intervention”

Lung function

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Four-limb linkage training improves lung function in humans.

    “The magnitude of improvement was significantly greater in the four-limb linkage training group than in the control group (P<0.05).”

Dyspnea

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Four-limb linkage training decreases dyspnea in humans.

    “while dyspnea scores and BODE index were significantly reduced in both groups compared with Pre-intervention (P<0.05).”
