Using blood flow restriction to reduce muscle soreness

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) techniques on pain intensity, muscle strength, and biomechanical properties in healthy individuals experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Participants will undergo a DOMS creation protocol and will be randomly assigned to either an 80% intensity BFR group or a 20% intensity BFR group. Both groups will follow an exercise protocol that incorporates the BFR application, and the study will be conducted in a double-blind manner to ensure unbiased results.
