About this trial
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate whether blood flow restriction training can improve physical function and sports performance in artistic jump rope athletes. The study will include 30 healthy artistic jump rope athletes aged 18 to 25 years. The main questions this study aims to answer are:
1. Does blood flow restriction training improve neuromuscular function compared with conventional training? 2. Does blood flow restriction training improve muscle strength, power, body composition, physiological responses, and artistic jump rope performance?
Researchers will compare participants receiving blood flow restriction training with participants performing conventional training to determine whether blood flow restriction training provides additional benefits. Participants will complete an 8-week training program and undergo assessments before and after the intervention, including muscle function tests, physical performance tests, body composition measurements, and physiological response evaluations.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Adults aged 18 to 25 years.
Current artistic jump rope athletes with at least 2 years of regular artistic jump rope training experience.
Participants who are able to perform artistic jump rope skills and complete all study-related assessments and training procedures.
Participants who are physically healthy and have no medical conditions that may interfere with exercise testing or blood flow restriction training.
Disqualifiers
Participants younger than 18 years or older than 25 years.
Presence of cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, respiratory disease, neurological disease, metabolic disease, coagulation disorders, history of thrombosis, severe varicose veins, severe hypertension, or other conditions that may affect exercise safety.
Presence of acute or chronic musculoskeletal injuries, including injuries involving muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, or bones, that prevent safe completion of study procedures.
Significant pain, severe fatigue, insufficient recovery, poor sleep condition, or other health conditions that may affect exercise performance or participant safety.
