简要总结
The comparative analysis of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training and Variable Repetition Durations (VRD) training among fitness enthusiasts addresses a significant gap in existing literature by directly comparing these two popular training modalities. BFR and VRD training have individually demonstrated benefits in enhancing athletic performance, but a direct comparison is essential to determine their relative efficacy for specific performance outcomes. This study aims to optimize training protocols by evaluating the effects of BFR and VRD training on strength, power, hypertrophy, and endurance. An Experimental Study will be conducted involving healthy male and female participants aged 18-30 years who engage in regular exercise. Participants will be divided into BFR and VRD training groups, with training protocols implemented over six weeks. Outcomes will be measured using 1RM, vertical jump test, girth measurement, and the Cooper 12-Minute Run/Walk Test. The study’s findings will provide evidence-based recommendations for incorporating BFR and VRD training into athletic and fitness programs, contributing to the broader scientific understanding of these training methods and their practical applications.
