Abstract

Background& purpose: Resistance training with innovative training methods elicits various cardiac and vascular responses. Therefore, the main objective of this research was to investigate the rate pressure product, blood pressure response, and Cardiac Autonomic Function to resistance activity with a training mask and blood flow restriction in young male athletes. Methods: Eleven trained men (average age 29.2 ± 5.7 years and body mass index 25.3 ± 2.7 kg/m²) with a history of resistance training in the past year participated in a three-week randomized, crossover study using three different methods: traditional (control) resistance training (1RM 75%-80%), resistance training with blood flow restriction, and hypoxic masks (1RM 20%-50%). The resistance training consisted of one set of 20 repetitions and three sets of 15 repetitions of leg extension movements. Cardiovascular responses were recorded before, immediately after, and every 5 minutes for 60 minutes. The repeated measures analysis of variance method using SPSS software (version 23) was applied to examine the significance level of p
