Comparing blood flow restriction training with other training methods for muscle strength and injury prevention
Effects of Additional Blood Flow Restriction and Sham Blood Flow Restriction in Eccentric Exercise on Muscle Strength, Dynamic Stability, and Reduce the Risk of ACL Injury
NA · Udayana University · NCT05951036
This study is testing whether low-load blood flow restriction training can help healthy athletes aged 15-35 build muscle strength and prevent injuries better than other training methods.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of low-load blood flow restriction training (LL-BFRt) compared to sham LL-BFRt and high-load eccentric training (HL-Et) in healthy athletes aged 15-35. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups and will engage in specific eccentric training exercises designed to assess improvements in muscle strength, dynamic stability, and prevention of ACL injuries. The study will measure outcomes through a series of controlled training sessions and performance assessments.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthy individuals aged 15-35 who participate in level 1 sports at least twice a week and have no history of ACL injuries.
Not a fit: Patients with pre-existing health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or a history of significant injuries may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance training methods for athletes, leading to improved muscle strength and reduced risk of ACL injuries.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies on blood flow restriction training have shown promising results, indicating potential benefits in muscle strength and injury prevention, making this approach both relevant and innovative.
