Summary

In this study Investigator will determine the effects of blood flow restriction training on hand grip strength using hand held dynamometer among healthy young adults and investigator also see effects of blood flow restriction training on forearm circumference using weighted measuring tape among healthy young adults along with correlation of male and female population following blood flow restriction training among healthy young adults.

  • Sports Physical Therapy

Interventions

OTHER

Handgrip strength training without Blood flow restriction

Participants of this group will get exercise training through hand grip strengthener and DMOOSE fitness resistance bar. Participants will contract his/her forearm at a rate of 15 times/min (1 contraction every 4 sec). The subjects will train for 20 min, 3 days per week for 2 weeks (total 6 sessions), under the supervision of a principle investigator. Participants will be allowed to take 1 min rest periods, after the completion of 5 minutes of training.

Participants will contracts his/her forearm at a rate of 15 times/min (1 contraction every 4 sec). The subjects will train for 20 min, 3 days per week for 2 weeks (total 6 sessions), under the supervision of a principle investigator. Participants will be allowed to take 1 min rest periods, after the completion of 5 minutes of training. However, for one of the limbs the pneumatic blood pressure cuff will be placed on the upper arm, 4 cm proximal to the ante-cubital fossa. The decision which arm would receive the occlusion during training will be randomized to avoid a dominant or non-dominant hand bias. During experimental group training blood pressure cuff will be partially inflated (80 mmHg) to ensure venous occlusion. Participants will be allowed to take 1 min rest periods, after the completion of 5 minutes of training while the cuff remained inflated.
