| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group A | Experimental | Participants allocated to experimental group took part in low-load resistance training combined with blood flow restriction applied by elastic occlusion wrap. The goal was to improve muscle strength and growth using weights while giving enough stimulus for muscles to adapt. Each session was started with warm-up of light aerobic exercises. After warm-up, BFR was applied using elastic wrap bands. The wrap was applied proximally on the arm following practical BFR methods in the literature |
|
| Group B | Experimental | This group participated in low-load resistance training without any BFR. Participants performed exercises like bicep curls and shoulder presses without applying BFR. Rather, they will lift weights equal to about 30% of their one repetition maximum to keep training light using low-loads. Similar to BFR group, this group will exercise twice a week for six weeks. This training will include two sets of 15 reps for each exercise with enough rest between them. Without blood flow restriction participants could perform the exercises with normal ROM and easier weight control. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Arm circumference | Arm circumference was measured using a measuring tape at standarized anatomical landmark. The tape was placed around the arm gently.the arm size was recorded to nearest centimeter | 6 weeks |
| 1 Repetition maximum | One repetition maximum test was used to assessed muscle strength. The test involves determining the maximum amount of weight a person can lift for a single repetition of given exercise. | 6 weeks |
| Medicine Ball Throw test | Upper-limb power was measured using medicine ball throw test. it assessed explosive strength of the arm muscles. The participant throws the ball forward as strongly as possible targeting for maximum distance. | 6 weeks |
