简要总结
his randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effects of low-load blood flow restriction (LL-BFR) training and traditional heavy-load resistance training (HL-RT) on male athletes with sub-acute non-specific low back pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the LL-BFR or HL-RT group for a specified intervention period. Both groups will perform supervised exercise sessions targeting core and lumbar stabilizing muscles. Outcomes including pain intensity, functional disability, and muscle strength will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention. The study seeks to determine whether LL-BFR can provide comparable or superior benefits to HL-RT while reducing mechanical stress on the lumbar spine.

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for Pain Intensity in Sub-Acute Non-Specific Low Back Pain
时间窗: Baseline and 4 weeks
Pain intensity in participants with sub-acute non-specific low back pain will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), an 11-point self-reported pain scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Participants will be asked to rate their average low back pain during the past 24 hours by selecting a number from 0 to 10.
