Interventions

  • Blood flow restriction training — OTHER
    Participants randomized to blood flow restriction training will complete low load resistance training exercises while the limb is occluded at 80% arterial occlusion pressure.
  • No blood flow restriction training — OTHER
    Participants randomized to no blood flow restriction training will complete low load resistance without occlusion.

Study Details

A large portion of the American population live with disabilities. People with disabilities can find it difficult to perform standard exercise routines. Regular exercise is necessary to be healthy, especially as people age. Lack of exercise can lead to secondary health concerns, like loss of muscle mass, diabetes, heart attack or stroke, to name a few. For exercise to be most beneficial, a certain degree of intensity must be achieved. Low load blood flow restriction training may be able to mimic the intensity of beneficial exercise without actually exercising hard. It may be a good option for people with disabilities who find it difficult to exercise.

Arms

  • Experimental: Low load resistance training with blood flow restriction
    Low load resistance training routine at 30-50% of a person's 1-repetition maximum with arterial occlusion pressure at 80%
  • Active Comparator: Low load resistance training
    Low load resistance training routine at 30-50% of a person's 1-repetition maximum

Primary Outcome Measure

Difference in strength between low load blood flow restriction resistance training and low load resistance training [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
