NCT ID NCT07182812
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tests whether doing sit-to-stand exercises with a blood flow restriction cuff on the thigh can improve back muscle endurance and balance more than the same exercises without the cuff. Seventy healthy young adults aged 20-25 will be randomly assigned to one of two groups and exercise twice a week for six weeks. Researchers will measure back endurance, balance, and basic body responses like heart rate and blood pressure.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Blood flow restriction (BFR) applied via pneumatic cuff during sit-to-stand exercises
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple, low-load exercise method to strengthen back muscles and improve balance, potentially helping prevent back problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy volunteers, not patients. Results may not apply to people with back pain or other conditions, and the benefits may be modest.
