Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial study is to compare low-load blood flow restriction (LL-BFRt), sham LL-BFRt, and high-load eccentric training (HL-Et) in healthy level 1 sportsman. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does LL-BFR improve muscle strength better than sham LL-BFRt and HL-Et?
2. Does LL-BFR improve dynamic stability better than sham LL-BFRt and HL-Et?
3. Does LL-BFR prevent ACL injury better than sham LL-BFRt and HL-Et?

Participants will be randomized into three intervention groups: LL-BFRt, sham LL-BFRt, and HL-Et. Participants will be asked to do:

* In LL-BFRt, participants will be asked to do LL eccentric training (including double leg squats, split squats, deadlifts, and monster walks) with a 30% of repetition maximum (RM) and 70% of arterial occlusion pressure (AOP).
* In sham LL-BFRt, participants will be asked to do LL eccentric training with a 30% of repetition maximum (RM) and 10% of arterial occlusion pressure (AOP).
* In HL-Et, participants will be asked to do LL eccentric training with a 70% of repetition maximum (RM).

Researchers will compare LL-BFRt, sham LL-BFRt, and HL-Et to see if muscle strength, dynamic stability, and ACL injury prevention improve after the interventions and follow-up.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Low-load Blood Flow Restriction training

Physical therapist will apply the BFR cuffs with 70% of arterial occlusion pressure on the both legs of participants. Then, participants will be asked to perform eccentric trainings (including, double leg squats, split squats, deadlifts, and monster walks) with 30% of repetition maximum.

PROCEDURE

Sham Low-load Blood Flow Restriction training

Physical therapist will apply the BFR cuffs with 10% of arterial occlusion pressure on the both legs of participants. Then, participants will be asked to perform eccentric trainings (including, double leg squats, split squats, deadlifts, and monster walks) with 30% of repetition maximum.

PROCEDURE

High-load Eccentric training

Physical therapist will ask participants to perform eccentric trainings (including, double leg squats, split squats, deadlifts, and monster walks) with 70% of repetition maximum.
