Autoregulated Blood Flow Restriction Cuff (smart-cuff pro devices, acting as pressurized tourniquet) combined with low load strength training
This group will undergo 2 sessions consisting of a low load leg extension exercise combined with a pressurized tourniquet which autoregulates so when the quadriceps muscle contracts, the total amount of pressure doesn't increase, as the tourniquet will lower the pressure to keep the total amount of pressure constant.
Non-autoregulated blood flow restriction cuff ((smart-cuff pro devices, acting as pressurized tourniquet) combined with low load strength training)
This group will undergo 2 sessions consisting of a low load leg extension exercise combined with a pressurized tourniquet which does not autoregulate so when the quadriceps muscle contracts, the total amount of pressure will increase, as the tourniquet will not lower the pressure to keep the total amount of pressure constant.
