The intervention involves placing a pneumatic tourniquet system over the proximal thigh. The cuff is inflated to 80% of limb occlusion pressure during lower limb strengthening exercises. These exercises include leg press and knee extensor exercises. Four sets (30,15,15,15 repetitions) performed at 20% of one repetition maximum.
