Sponsor's own description

This study aims to investigate the effects of low-intensity cycling exercise combined with blood flow restriction (BFR) on maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max), muscle strength, and muscle thickness in sedentary adult males. Participants will be randomly assigned to three groups: (1) a cycling exercise group performing 40 minutes of cycling at 40% VO₂max, (2) a cycling with blood flow restriction group performing 15 minutes of cycling at 40% VO₂max with limb occlusion pressure at 60-80%, and (3) a control group following a shorter cycling protocol. Muscle thickness, isokinetic knee strength, and VO₂max will be measured before and after the 9-week intervention. The study is designed to evaluate whether short-duration, low-intensity cycling with BFR can induce physiological adaptations comparable to traditional longer-duration cycling protocols.
