Abstract
Ischaemic preconditioning (IP) (Lawson & Downey, 1993) with one or more cycles, consisting each of a short period of ischaemia followed by equal periods of reperfusion, improves myocardial tolerance to a subsequent ischaemic stress under experimental (Przyklenk et al., 1994) and clinical (Yellon et al., 1993) conditions. It has also been shown in rodents that IP improves ischaemic tolerance also in skeletal muscle (Gürke et al, 1996). So far, the effects of IP on human skeletal muscle are unknown.
