NCT ID NCT06718582
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested how lying, sitting, or standing changes the effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) training on the heart, blood vessels, and muscles. Twenty-seven active adults wore special cuffs on their thighs during exercise. Researchers measured artery stiffness and muscle size to see which position works best. The goal is to make BFR training safer and more effective.
