The effect of blood flow restriction combined with different resistance training on the improvement of athletic performance in male tactical personnel

Purpose This study aimed to compare the effects of resistance training programs combining different load intensities with blood flow restriction (BFR), alongside a traditional high-load resistance training condition, on athletic performance in male tactical personnel. Methods Sixty healthy male tactical personnel with systematic resistance training experience were randomly assigned to four groups (n=15 each): HL-BFR group (70% one repetition maximum [1RM] with BFR), ML-BFR group (50% 1RM with BF
