U.S., Sept. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07825987) titled 'Blood Flow Restriction Cycling for Functional Mobility in Older Adults' on Sept. 12.
Brief Summary: This randomized, sham-controlled trial investigates whether a six-week, twice-weekly low-load cycling program combined with individualized blood flow restriction (BFR) improves functional mobility and health-related quality of life in community-dwelling adults older than 70 years, compared with identical cycling exercise without effective BFR. Blood flow restriction is applied using thigh cuffs, individually calibrated to a percentage of each participant's measured limb occlusion pressure; the control group receives cycling exercise ...
