| Research Abstract |
This study focused on blood flow-restricted training as a measure aimed at early recovery in postoperative rehabilitation following knee anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using the semitendinosus tendon. The purpose of this study was to examine whether blood flow-restricted training after ACL reconstruction could promote hypertrophy and maturation of the regenerated ST tendon and reconstructed ACL. In this study, the regeneration of the tendon was excellent in the blood flow-restricted group of males and this study hints at the utility of blood flow-restricted training. If we assume that the promotion of hypertrophy and maturation of the regenerated ST tendon is derived from the endocrine system, the possibility of promotion of maturation of the reconstructed ACL is also hinted at which we believes makes an early return to competition possible.
