Brief summary: In this study Investigator will determine the effects of blood flow restriction training on hand grip strength using hand held dynamometer among healthy young adults and investigator also see effects of blood flow restriction training on forearm circumference using weighted measuring tape among healthy young adults along with correlation of male and female population following blood flow restriction training among healthy young adults.

Detailed description: (A randomized control trial will be conducted in Foundation University Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences on 56 healthy young adults. Study will be conducted in 6 months (May 2020 to December 2020). Healthy young adults of both genders between 20-40 years of age will be included in the study. Adults with any diagnosed cardiovascular, metabolic, orthopedic or neurological disease, active/ongoing infection, recent history of upper extremity fracture or history of vascular medication will not be included in this study. The outcome variables will be hand grip strength measured through hydraulic hand held dynamometer and forearm circumference through anthropometric measuring tape.After assessment and screening, subjects will be randomly allocated in Control group "A" receiving low intensity strength training and Interventional group "B" receiving blood flow restriction training along with low intensity strength training via lottery method.Each participant will receive three sessions per week for two consecutive weeks making 6 treatment sessions in total. The outcome variables will be assessed at the start of 1st session and then at 6th session. To carry out the anthropometric assessment, anthropometric tape for circumference measurements, a digital scale for measuring weight and a stadiometer to measure height will be used.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Healthy adults of sedentary lifestyle
