The acute blood flow restriction and its impact on rate of perceived exertion among UiTM Seremban 3 students / Nur Liyana Aqilah Zulkefli and Nurul Ain Abu Kasim

This study explores the effects of acute blood flow restriction (BFR) training on the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) during the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test. It focuses on evaluating and comparing RPE outcomes among UiTM Seremban 3 students, with and without BFR application, to enhance understanding of BFR's impact on physical performance and exertion perception. This experimental study assessed the acute effects of BFR on the RPE during the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1. Participants performed 20 m shuttle runs with progressively increasing speeds under BFR and non-BFR conditions. BFR was applied using blood pressure cuffs on the upper thighs, and RPE was recorded during and after the test.
