Summary

This study aims to compare the effects of low-intensity blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training versus traditional high-intensity resistance training on body composition (skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass) and maximal strength (isometric mid-thigh pull, vertical jump, isometric squat pull) in male military academy cadets. The study lasts for 6 weeks and adopts a randomized parallel-group design.

Interventions

DEVICE

KAATSU Master Pneumatic Cuff

Pneumatic pressure cuffs applied to the proximal thigh at 200 mmHg to achieve partial blood flow restriction during low-load resistance training (30% 1RM). Initial warm-up at 40 mmHg.

BEHAVIORAL

High-Load Resistance Training

Traditional resistance training at 70% of one-repetition maximum (1RM) without blood flow restriction.
