Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The intervention will be conducted twice a week for 8 weeks (16 sessions total). The BFR cuffs will be applied at 50% of the participant's arterial occlusion pressure. Both groups will undergo the same exercise protocol, supervised by trained personnel. Assessments will be performed at baseline and after the intervention.
Primary outcome measures include lower limb strength (5 Times Sit-to-Stand Test), balance ability (Timed Up and Go test), gait performance (10-meter walk test, GaitRite), muscle mass index (SMI) using BWA 2.0, muscle thickness (quadriceps via ultrasound), cognitive function (MoCA), depression level (GDS-K).
Both participants and outcome assessors are blinded to group allocation. This study has received IRB approval from Sahmyook University Institutional Review Board.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
BFR group
Exercise with BFR cuff
Blood flow restriction cuff
Use of blood flow restriction cuff during resistance training. The cuff pressure is set at 50% of the participant's arterial occlusion pressure.
Exercise group
Exercise without BFR cuff
Exercise without BFR cuff
Resistance exercise performed without blood flow restriction. Same protocol as BFR group but without cuff application.
