Official title
Effect of Low Intensity Blood Flow Restriction Training on Lower Extremity Strength and Hypertrophy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The particpant will complete baseline testing by measuring subjects' quadriceps muscle thickness (cm) via ultrasound technology, as well as have them complete a one repetition maximum (1RM) test on the leg press machine and an isometric knee extension using a dynamometer - strength measures will be calculated for both right and left legs. After baseline testing, subjects will complete 6 weeks of the testing protocol that will consist of leg press exercises at 30% of their 1RM. Subjects will be randomized to either wear a cuff that partially restricts blood flow to the limb (Study Group), or to wear a cuff that does not restrict blood flow (Control Group). Exercises will be completed 2x/week and will take approximately 10 total minutes (5 for warm up, 5 for testing protocol) per session. After 6 weeks, muscle thickness, leg press 1RM, and quadriceps extension strength will be re-tested and compared to the initial measurements.
