“…Ischemia induced by a cuff is simple and non-invasive, and therefore easy for practical use ( Marocolo et al, 2018 ). There are many methods of using ischemia as part of physical activity, such as continuous ischemia (used during exercise and rest periods) ( Wilk et al, 2020b ), intermittent ischemia (used only during exercise) ( Wilk et al, 2020d , e ), pre-conditioning ischemia (used before exercise) ( Telles et al, 2020 ) and intra-conditioning (used only during the rest periods) ( Wilk et al, 2021b ). The use of ischemia during exercise, apart from inducing physiological responses, may be accompanied by high ratings of perceived exertion and discomfort or even pain among practitioners ( Wernbom et al, 2006 ; Neto et al, 2018 ; Schwiete et al, 2021 ).…”
