Effectiveness of Low Load Resistance Training With Blood Flow Restriction in Individuals With Disabilities

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

A large portion of the American population live with disabilities. People with disabilities can find it difficult to perform standard exercise routines. Regular exercise is necessary to be healthy, especially as people age. Lack of exercise can lead to secondary health concerns, like loss of muscle mass, diabetes, heart attack or stroke, to name a few. For exercise to be most beneficial, a certain degree of intensity must be achieved. Low load blood flow restriction training may be able to mimic the intensity of beneficial exercise without actually exercising hard. It may be a good option for people with disabilities who find it difficult to exercise.
