Effects of Short Duration Blood Flow Restriction Training on Musculoskeletal and Performance Outcomes

"Subjects allocated to this group will perform squat exercise 6 days per week for 2 weeks with 40% of arterial occlusion pressure and 30% of 1RM.~Blood flow restriction band will be applied at the most proximal part of the thigh. Each subject will perform 75 repetitions in total across 4 sets of squats in the order of 30-15-15-15. Rest between sets would be 30 sec. Subjects will be instructed to tummy tuck while performing the exercise."
