Background: Blood flow restriction, a form of low intensity resistance exercise that when applied on body it demonstrates physiological changes that give positive outcomes like increased muscle growth, oxygen delivery and utilization of maximal oxygen. The purpose of this study was to examine effects of 4-week Blood flow restriction training protocol on forearm girth on grip strength in young adults.
Methods: A comparative study was carried out in 80 normal individuals ( divided in two groups) after examining inclusion and exclusion criteria with pre assessment of forearm girth and grip strength of both right and left hand.
Results: Blood flow restriction training group has shown more significant results than traditional training group.
Conclusion: This study concludes that both the groups were effective post intervention. But BFRT has shown more significant results as compared to traditional training on handgrip strength and forearm girth.
