Summary
This study explores a gentler exercise method called blood flow restriction (BFR) training for adults aged 60 and older. Instead of heavy weights, participants use light resistance and slow walking while wearing special bands on their arms and legs. The goal is to see if this approach can improve strength, walking ability, and overall health, making fitness more accessible for seniors.
