You are invited to participate in a blood flow restriction (BFR) training study occurring on Salisbury University’s campus.
Participants will receive a $25 Amazon gift card and will be entered to win a $250 Amazon gift card after finishing the study. Participants also will gain information on blood pressure and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease and improve their knowledge of strength training exercise.
To qualify, participants must be between the age of 18-40 and have at least six months of training experience.
You will not be eligible to participate in the study if you are pregnant, have diabetes, hypertension, a history of stroke, myocardial infarction or chronic kidney, cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, metabolic, oncological diseases, or other diseases that would make participation unsafe.
This project will examine the effects of exercise utilizing BFR training devices on acute muscle and vascular changes. Performance, muscle and vascular tests will be performed including:
- Strength Assessments
- Body Composition
- Blood Pressure Assessment
- Ultrasonography of Muscle and Artery
