Finding alternatives to improve variables such as strength and anaerobic resistance is a subject of highly studied clinical intervention. The use of vascular occlusion associated with physical exercise has shown efficacy in improving these aspects. The objective is to analyze the effectiveness of upper limb training with vascular occlusion (Kaatsu training) for the improvement of isometric strength and anaerobic capacity in women aged 18 to 38 years. Study design. Randomized, prospective, single-blind, follow-up clinical study. The selected sample will be randomized into two groups: experimental and control. The intervention will consist of ergonomic exercises with and without vascular occlusion. Isometric strength will be assessed with a manual dynamometer, anaerobic capacity and peak power (anaerobic alactic system) and average power (anaerobic lactic system) with the wingate test, and subjective perception of effort with the Borg scale. The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 3 weekly sessions of 10 minutes each. A descriptive statistical analysis will be carried out among the dependent and independent variables of both groups. With the Kolmogórov distribution normality test and with the Anova and t-student tests for analysis of repeated measures. Expected results. The investigators intend to observe improvement of isometric biceps and triceps strength and the anaerobic capacity of the group treated with vascular occlusion.
