Effect of Blood Flow Restriction on Cardiovascular Function in Elderly with Metabolic Syndrome X

"To prescribe BFR training, Systolic blood pressure (SBP) will be measured using an automated oscillometer BP device.~Blood pressure will be measured according to the recommendations of the American Heart Association. A bilateral restriction of 50% of the measured SBP will be applied to each lower limb for the application of BFR of lower limbs using the equipment. A wide cuff (18 cm wide) will be placed in the proximal portion of the thigh (inguinal fold region) and will be inflated until the absence of the tibial artery blood pulse. Thus, a 50% restriction of SBP will be applied in both legs during lower body exercises."

"HR max = 206.9 - (0.67 x age).~Moderate intensity aerobic exercise: the rate of heart reaches 64-76 percent of their age predicted peak hearty rate"
