Blood Flow Restriction and Aerobic Exercise in Iron Deficiency Anemia
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
Preventing iron deficiency anemia is essential for strengthening adolescent health and ensuring their full development. Strategies such as improving nutrition, expanding the availability of iron-fortified products, implementing pharmacological prevention, and raising awareness play a crucial role in addressing this issue.

aerobic exercise + blood flow restriction
Twenty five females will be subjected to supervised blood flow restriction combined with aerobic exercise program. participated in 3 months exercise training protocol, which included three walking training sessions per week on a treadmill set at a speed 3 km/h. They experienced 3 session/week and each session include 5-10 minutes .A pressure of between 140 and 200 mmHg was applied using a sphygmomanometer cuff placed at the thigh of the BFR group. The pressure of the cuff was increased until the participants adapted to the restriction stimulus during the early phase of training, and this pressure was maintained used during the training protocol. The strap pressure was increased by 10 mmHg per week, such that it reached 200 mmHg by the end of 12th week. The pressure on the thigh strap was abruptly released after five completions of the exercise set.
aerobic exercise
participated in 3 months exercise training protocol, which included three walking training sessions per week on a treadmill set at a speed 3 km/h. They experienced 3 session/week and each session include 5-10 minutes warming up and five training sets (each lasting 2 min) with a 1 min rest period between each exercise session and ended with 5-10 minutes cooling down.
