The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the acute impact of isometric blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise on blood pressure and other cardiovascular functions in healthy young adult volunteers. The main question it aims to answer is:

The investigators hypothesize that isometric BFR exercise with a wide-rigid cuff would lead to greater blood pressure and other cardiovascular responses and that these cardiovascular responses would be greater under isometric BFR exercise with narrow-elastic bands compared with the control condition (no cuff).

Participants will perform isometric exercises in 3 laboratory visits with different exercise conditions) no cuff control 2) BFR with wide-rigid cuff 3) BFR with narrow-elastic band.
