Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Minimal equipment resistance and endurance training with blood flow restrictionExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants in this group undergo 6 weeks of concurrent resistance and endurance training using minimal equipment (i.e., sandbags, resistance bands, suspension trainers, weight vests, etc.) while wearing upper- and lower-body blood-flow restriction cuffs
Group II: Minimal equipment resistance and endurance trainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in this group undergo 6 weeks of concurrent resistance and endurance training using minimal equipment (i.e., sandbags, resistance bands, suspension trainers, weight vests, etc.)
Group III: Traditional equipment resistance and endurance trainingActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in this group undergo 6 weeks of concurrent resistance and endurance training using traditional equipment (i.e., power racks, barbells, dumbbells, etc.)
