Experimental group
Control group
The intervention lasted 17 minutes each session, 2 weekly sessions were carried out, during 4 weeks. The training started with a warm-up on the hand bike without a load for 5 minutes. Later, we did a work of 3 series of 30 seconds, in maximum power, with 5 minutes of rest between them. The intensity was calculated by 0.048 kp.kg. The subjects of the experimental group made use of the restriction of blood flow, using a pressure cuff coupled in the most proximal region of the arm, 10 cm wide. The pressure was calculated based on the initial systolic pressure of the subjects.

The subjects in the control group did not use pressure cuffs.
