Low Intensity Blood Flow Restriction Training Study
Effect of Low Intensity Blood Flow Restriction Training on Lower Extremity Strength and Hypertrophy
Study Overview

Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Session 1 - baseline testing
- 5-minute warm-up; 1RM calculation for both right and left legs using a supine leg press machine; isometric quadriceps strength measurement using a dynamometer; muscle thickness measurements of both right and left quadriceps muscle using ultrasound technology.
- After day 1 testing; randomly allocate subjects to either control group or experimental group
Sessions 2-13 - 6 weeks of exercise protocol, 2x/per week
Both the experimental and control groups will complete the same protocol for the entirety of the study:
- 5- minute warm up
Using a single-leg press exercise machine: Subjects complete the testing protocol with either partial blood flow restriction (cuff inflated to 100-250 mmhg depending on size of person) or no blood flow restriction (placebo inflation) on right limb.
- Protocol: 30 repetitions - 15 repetitions - 15 repetitions - 15 repetitions with each set separated by ~30-90 seconds.
- Right and left legs will be alternating, but only one leg will have the occlusion cuff
Session 14 - Re-test
- Re-check 1RM, isometric quad strength, as well as muscle thickness of quadriceps with ultrasound

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Blood flow restriction cuff
This group will receive an active cuff that partially restricts blood flow to the experimental limb.
|
The intervention is the wearing of a cuff-like band around the affected limb, of which partially restricts blood flow to the limb.
|
Placebo Comparator: Blood Flow restriction Cuff-Placebo
This group will wear a placebo cuff, of which will not restrict blood flow at all.
|
The intervention is the wearing of a cuff-like band around the affected limb, of which partially restricts blood flow to the limb.
