ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of high-intensity resistance training on athletes recovering from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Specifically, it aims to compare two training methods: one group will do traditional high-intensity exercises without any special equipment, while the other group will use a technique called blood flow restriction, which involves applying a band to the limb to reduce blood flow during exercise. The goal is to see which method helps athletes recover better and faster after their surgery.

To participate in this study, you must be a male athlete aged between 18 and 25 who is in the later stages of rehabilitation after a grade III ACL tear. You should have been actively playing sports for at least two years. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two training groups, and everyone in the study will be monitored closely to ensure safety and effectiveness. This trial is currently looking for volunteers, so if you meet the criteria and are interested in helping advance recovery methods for athletes, this could be a great opportunity!
