About this trial

This study aims to compare the effects of low-intensity blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training versus traditional high-intensity resistance training on body composition (skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass) and maximal strength (isometric mid-thigh pull, vertical jump, isometric squat pull) in male military academy cadets. The study lasts for 6 weeks and adopts a randomized parallel-group design.
