Summary
This study explores whether a gentle exercise method called blood flow restriction (BFR) training can help older adults improve strength and fitness without heavy weights. 50 adults aged 60 and older will either do BFR exercise or attend health education classes for six weeks, then switch. Researchers will measure strength, walking ability, and overall health to see if this low-impact approach supports healthy aging.
