Summary

This study explores whether a gentle form of exercise called blood flow restriction (BFR) training can help older adults improve strength and fitness without heavy weights. Fifty adults aged 60 and older will either do a six-week BFR program or attend health education classes, then switch. Researchers will measure strength, walking ability, heart health, and quality of life to see if BFR is a safe, accessible way to support healthy aging.
