The purpose of this study : to determine the effect of blood flow restriction during treadmill walking on lower extremity functional strength as determined by the 30 second sit-to-stand and heel rise tests in normal healthy young adults.
Methods
A total of 20 young healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 35 years were recruited for the study. Pre-test results were recorded for the 30-second sit-to-stand and heel-rise tests. The pressure cuffs for BFR were then inflated immediately prior to the BFR treadmill walking session at 3 mph. Post-test results were recorded for the 30-second sit-to-stand and heel-rise tests.
