Official title: Effects of Occlusion Training on Speed and Physical Performance in Hockey Players

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Occlusion training is simply a way of restricting blood flow in the veins of a working muscle in hopes to kick-start some larger gains in muscle size and strength. Occlusion training performed during hockey training on speed and physical performance of hockey players. This training also known as blood flow restriction training, can be defined as the training of muscles while limiting blood flow to the muscles and typically done by performing high intensity, low weight, lifts while using some form of tourniquet or band to limit blood supply to limb being trained.

Clinical Trial Description

This study will be a randomized controlled trial and total sample size of both groups will be 18 and calculated through non-probability sampling technique and the players will allocate into two groups, control group and experimental group, per group sample size is 9. Each will perform the session for occlusion training. Before and after training sessions players completed a series of test to assess their speed and physical performance. Occlusion training will help us providing unique beneficial training mode for promoting muscle hypertrophy. In control group players will perform general exercises session and in experimental sessions players will perform with occlusion training which is blood flow resistance training (BFR training shoulder, leg extension, bicep curls, kaatsu) 4 times a week for 4 weeks with 5 sets of 5 repetitions and then assessed pre-training and post-training values with assessment tools bench press, leg squat, leg power, maximum sprint time and pull-ups performed at 70% of 1-repetition maximum. This training will also improve and increase muscular strength in players. ;
