INTRODUCTION. Low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction is an effective strategy for increasing muscle mass and strength, as well as reducing excess subcutaneous and visceral fat deposition. In recent years, this method has been used in various populations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction on anthropometric parameters and body composition in men with metabolic syndrome.

AIM. To evaluate the effect of low-intensity strength training with blood flow restriction on anthropometric indices and body composition in men with metabolic syndrome.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study involved 60 untrained men (mean age 38.7 ± 5.6 years) who meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome due to health reasons. Participants were divided into three groups according to resistance training regimens: low-intensity resistance with blood flow restriction; high-intensity training; low-intensity training without blood flow restriction. Before and after 12 weeks of training, the groups were assessed for body mass index, fat mass, visceral fat area, musculoskeletal mass, waist circumference.

RESULTS. There was a statistically significant decrease in fat mass, visceral fat area, waist circumference and an increase in musculoskeletal mass (p < 0.05) in the groups of low-intensity strength training with blood flow restriction and high-intensity strength training. In the parameters of men belonging to the group of low-intensity strength training without blood flow restriction, no statistically significant changes were found (p > 0.05).

CONCLUSION. In summary, the study found that low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction effectively altered the body composition of men with metabolic syndrome.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ. Низкоинтенсивные силовые тренировки с ограничением кровотока представляют собой эффективную стратегию для увеличения мышечной массы и силы, а также снижения избыточного отложения подкожного и висцерального жира. В последние годы данный метод стали применять в различных популяциях.

ЦЕЛЬ. Оценить влияние низкоинтенсивной силовой тренировки с ограничением кровотока на антропометрические показатели и состав тела у мужчин с метаболическим синдромом.

МАТЕРИАЛЫ И МЕТОДЫ. В исследовании приняли участие 60 нетренированных мужчин (средний возраст — 38,7 ± 5,6 года), по состоянию здоровья соответствующих критериям метаболического синдрома. Участники были распределены на три группы по режимам силовой тренировки: низкоинтенсивная силовая с ограничением кровотока; высокоинтенсивная силовая; низкоинтенсивная силовая без ограничения кровотока. До и после 12 недель тренировок в группах оценивались: индекс массы тела, жировая масса, область висцерального жира, мышечно-скелетная масса, окружность талии.

РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ. Выявлено статистически значимое снижение жировой массы, области висцерального жира, обхвата талии и повышение мышечно-скелетной массы (р < 0,05) в группах низкоинтенсивной силовой тренировки с ограничением кровотока и высокоинтенсивной силовой тренировки. В показателях мужчин, относящихся к группе низкоинтенсивной силовой тренировки без ограничения кровотока, не обнаружено статистически значимых изменений (р > 0,05).

ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ. Таким образом, низкоинтенсивные силовые тренировки с ограничением кровотока эффективно изменяют состав тела мужчин с метаболическим синдромом.
