Walking Training with Blood Flow Restriction Effects on Sedentary College Students

A crossover randomized trial of 60 sedentary college students measured hemodynamic and perceptual responses to 5-minute walking sessions with varying limb occlusion pressures. Data includes blood pressure, heart rate, perceived exertion, discomfort, and step counts recorded before, immediately after, and 5 minutes post-intervention. The dataset was published by Yuke Zhu on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between limb occlusion pressure and perceived exertion/discomfort based on the recorded perceptual responses.
• Compare hemodynamic changes (heart rate, blood pressure) across different blood flow restriction levels.
• Model the trade-off between step count reduction and training intensity under blood flow restriction.
• Investigate the short-term physiological impact of a single 5-minute walking training session with BFR.

Strengths

• Data from a randomized crossover trial design with 60 participants.
• Includes measurements taken at three time points: pre-, post-, and 5-minutes post-intervention.
• Covers four distinct intervention conditions (0%, 40%, 60%, and 80% limb occlusion pressure).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Dataset is very small (38.7 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a summary or processed results table.
