CHPS RESEARCH STUDIES

Acute Effects of BFR Resistance Exercise on Muscle Swelling

The main purpose of this study is to examine acute changes in muscle swelling following blood flow restriction (BFR) and non-BFR protocols. This study will consist of 5 visits with the first visit being around 30 min and the other 4 around 90 min (total 6.5 hours). Participants will be asked to complete leg extensions with and without BFR with four different conditions (no-BFR, continuous BFR, intermediate BFR during sets, intermediate BFR during rest).

Inclusion Qualifications:

Are a recreationally active (≥150 minutes per week of physical activity) male between the ages of 18-35.
Are willing to come in for all five visits.
