CON = control; TRABFR = traditional blood flow restriction; BTFBFR = band tissue flossing; HR = heart rate; bpm = beats per minute; Pre = pre-occlusion; Post = post-occlusion; ImmPost = immediately post-exercise; 1-Min Post = 1-min post-exercise; * indicates statistical significance. Statistical significance is noted at an alpha level of p < 0.05.
