Blood Flow Restriction Training as a Targeted Intervention for Rowers With Back Pain. (NCT07130812)
Breaking the Cycle of Low Back Pain: Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR) as a Targeted Intervention for Rowers
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this graduate student research study is to compare the effects of low-load blood flow restriction training (LL-BFR) and heavy-load training (HLT) in high-volume rowers with mild low back pain or recurrent low back pain (LBP), aiming to determine whether LL-BFR offers a safer yet equally effective alternative to HLT for enhancing performance and reducing risk of re-injury.
