Immunometabolic Mechanisms of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

The AirBands will be placed at each of the two training sessions and inflated while an ultrasound probe is placed over the femoral artery. The cuff will be inflated until the artery reaches 60% occlusion. The force will be applied using a wireless Bluetooth signal; participants will not be asked to adjust the device. Participants will be observed by a certified Personal Therapist throughout the training session in order to determine compliance and ensure safety as is standard protocol for a physical therapy session.

Uninflated AirBand will be used as the control intervention during the session in which BFR is not performed
