Interventions
DEVICE

Blood Flow Restriction (by using smart-cuff pro devices, acting as pressurized tourniquet) combined low load strengh training

This group will undergo standard, traditional low load strength training consisting of calf, thigh, glute and core exercises, combined with optimal pressurized blood flow restriction

OTHER

Standardised low load strength training

This group will undergo standard, traditional low load strength training consisting of calf, thigh, glute and core exercises

DEVICE

Sham-BFR (by using smart-cuff pro devices, acting as pressurized tourniquet) combined with low load strength training

This group will undergo standard, traditional low load strength training consisting of calf, thigh, glute and core exercises, combined with blood flow restriction, but pressurized so the occlusion cuff has no significant effect on the lower limb blood flow.
