The Project
The primary objective of this investigation is to ascertain the impact resulting from the application of bilateral cuff pressure at a magnitude of 180mmHg in the utmost proximal segment of the lower extremity, concomitant with resistance training, and its effect on 1RM back squat and vertical jump performance following a 4-week intervention, in individuals possessing a resistance training experience of no less than 3 years. As per our knowledge, this is the first-ever BFR intervention performed in the UAE.
Fifteen well-trained males (mean ± SD, age:34.3 ± 4.34 years, height:180.06 ± 3.91 centimeters, body mass:82.67 ± 7.48 kilograms, back squat 1RM:129.69 ± 25.99 kilograms, countermovement jump height:37.94 ± 7.23 centimeters) with a resistance training age of ≥ 3 years were recruited for this study. A blood flow restriction (BFR) training group and a control group (CON) took part in a 4-week training intervention involving two sessions per week. Pre and post-testing involved assessment of countermovement jump (CMJ) performance as well as one repetition maximum (1RM) squat performance.
