Effects of a 4-week Low-intensity Training With Blood Flow Restriction in People With Rotator Cuff-related Shoulder Pain
Sponsor: University of Valencia
Summary
This study aims to analyze the effects of 4 weeks of low-intensity exercise with and without blood flow restriction (BFR) on pain, fear of movement, catastrophizing about pain, strength, and disability in a population with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. There are two modalities corresponding to the same exercises under different blood flow restriction conditions: 1) 3 low-intensity exercises (30% 1RM) with BFR (50% AOP); 2) 3 low-intensity exercises (30% 1RM) without BFR. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups and will undergo a 4-week intervention. The variables of interest will be assessed in each group for subsequent analysis and comparison.

Interventions
Resistance exercise with BFR
Three exercises: external rotation at 0°, internal rotation at 0° and elevation in the scapular plane. 4 sets (30, 15, 15, reps to fatigue) with a intensity of 30% RM and a 50% of arterial occlusion pressure. 30" rest between sets, 2' rest between exercises.
Resistance exercise without BFR
Three exercises: external rotation at 0°, internal rotation at 0° and elevation in the scapular plane. 4 sets (30, 15, 15, reps to fatigue) with a intensity of 30% RM and a without flow restriction application (cuff applied without pressure). 30" rest between sets, 2' rest between exercises.
