LI-BFRT: Low-intensity resistance training combined with blood flow restriction applied to the proximal limbs.
HIRT: Conventional high-intensity resistance training without blood flow restriction.
Study summary
This study aims to investigate the effects of low-intensity blood flow restriction training (LI-BFRT) on lower-limb strength and kicking performance in taekwondo athletes. Blood flow restriction training is a method that partially restricts blood flow to the muscles during exercise, which may improve performance while reducing training load.
