NCT ID NCT06512961
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether wrapping an elastic band (tissue flossing) around the upper arm can safely and reliably restrict blood flow during exercise, similar to expensive blood flow restriction devices. Researchers will measure blood flow, muscle strength, and comfort in 34 healthy adults. The goal is to see if this low-cost method is a valid alternative for muscle training.
