The purposes of this study are to 1) investigate the short-term training effects on the use of blood flow restriction (BFR) cuffs during resistance training when compared to higher and lower intensity resistance training without BFR on large and small arterial elasticity, and 2) examine how different resistance training programs, with and without BFR, elicit changes in hemodynamics by measuring resting heart rate (RHR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), total vascular impedance (TVI) maximum voluntary contraction (MVC), torque, power, force, and body composition (BC) in recreationally active male subjects.
