Resistance Training with Sham-BFR

"The exercise protocol provides for units of approx. 25 minutes of BFR training five times a week as part of medical training therapy. Based on the initial strength measurements prior to rehabilitation, the training phase of the intervention group starts with 30% of the 1RM (calculated from the force-velocity profile) and 70% LOP in the operated leg and 75% of the 1RM (calculated from the force-velocity profile) in the unoperated leg. The patients are randomized into 2 groups: 1) intervention group, which receives a daily intervention with an occlusion pressure and the 2) control group, which receives a daily Sham-BFR intervention with an occlusion pressure of 20mmHg."
