Brief summary: The sport of wrestling poses several challenges for strength and conditioning addressed by designing a resistance training program to meet these requirements. This Study provides recommendations for implementing an effective resistance training program for wrestlers.Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a technique that combines low intensity exercise with blood flow occlusion that produces similar results to high intensity training. High-intensity, slow-motion strength training helps build muscle mass faster than lifting regular weights. This is because the slow-motion forces your muscles to hold the weight longer. With standard weightlifting, the faster the momentum, the less time your muscles are engaged.

This study will be conducted to compare effect of blood flow resistance and slow motion strength training on power and lower limb function among wrestler players.All subjects will be selected between age 18 to 35 years.Data will be collected from players in Pakistan sports board . Study design will be Randomized clinical trial. Measuring tape,1RM tests,vertical jump test and Timed push ups and pull ups test will be used to asses the power and lower limb function. Informed consent will be taken from All the participants.Athletes will be allocated randomly into two main groups.Group A and group B. On group A blood flow resistance training method will be performed and group B will be provided by slow motion strength training method to compare the effects of both techniques. Study will be conducted in nine months time period after the approval of synopsis. Data will be collected at the start of the research and after one year post research data will collected for analysis. SPSS will be used for data entry and analysis.

Detailed description: Wrestling players will be allocated randomly into two main groups.On group A blood flow resistance training will be performed and Group B will be provided by slow motion strength training to compare the effects of both techniques During 1st visit of the patient these steps will be taken. A consent will be taken from athletes A complete thorough assessment will be done by researcher. The athletes will complete 1RM tests , vertical jump test ,Timed push-ups and pull ups test.

Techniques will then continue to selected subject according to their allocation In next visit. Patient will be reassessed by researcher. Sessions of techniques per week will be given.

Post training readings will be taken at the end of 6th week,total training will be of 6 weeks .
