Values are presented as mean ± SD. ηp2: partial eta squared; BFRTg: blood flow restriction. Tg: training group; RRPP: rest rate pressure product; MRPP: maximal rate pressure product; PP: pulse pressure; RRPP and MRPP values were divided by 100 for presentation
*: significant difference in post for pre at p < 0.05
§: significant difference between BFRTg and non-BFRTg at p < 0.05.
