Clinical Trial Summary

The study will determine the effects of adding blood flow restriction to eccentric training to assess whether this increases the improvements of muscle strength and size.


Clinical Trial Description

Subjects will be randomly assigned to two groups: an eccentric only resistance training group or an eccentric training plus blood flow restriction group. Subjects will train at a moderately low intensity on a multiple-joint eccentric device. Those in the blood flow restriction will wear blood flow restriction cuffs on their upper thighs to reduce blood flow during the brief protocol. The training session will occur twice per week and will last ~5 minutes, including a one minute warm up, a one minute cool down and a three minute workout phase. The training program will last 7 weeks. Testing will be conducted at baseline (following a one session familiarization), 4 weeks and after the end of the 7 week training period. Assessments will focus on muscle strength, function, and morphology (size). ;
