LBFR increased torque immediately post-warm-up (0\u00a0min vs pre: <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.049), while HBFR peaked at 3\u00a0min (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.040). Jump performance: HBFR achieved greater flight height than LBFR (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.002). At 6\u00a0min, LLRT showed lower peak power vs LBFR\/HBFR (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.046, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.034). LBFR increased flight height at 3\/6\u00a0min (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.049, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.045), HBFR at 0\/3\u00a0min (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.048, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.020). EMG data: LBFR exhibited higher vastus lateralis RMS than HLRT at 9\u00a0min (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.035). MPF differed significantly between groups across timepoints (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.031, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.026, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.000, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.047). HBFR increased vastus medialis RMS at 6\u00a0min (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.032), while HLRT decreased MPF at 6\/12\u00a0min (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.019, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.045).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>HBFR warm-up amplifies regional ischemia by superimposing intrinsic and extrinsic constraints, synergistically enhancing neuromuscular recruitment and metabolic stress. This mechanism sustains elevated force output and potentiates PAP, albeit with elevated load-associated injury risks. LBFR warm-up achieves muscle activation comparable to high-intensity training under reduced mechanical loading. The temporal manifestation of PAP exhibits task-specific variability across performance metrics, necessitating individualized BFR protocol optimization and precise recovery time modulation based on target outcomes. Collectively, LBFR represents an efficacious warm-up strategy with minimized injury risk, as evidenced by the present findings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2025.1674571","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,30]],"date-time":"2025-09-30T05:37:25Z","timestamp":1759210645000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Effects of different induction methods and post-activation potentiation on lower limb muscle activation and explosive power"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Xingchen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enjing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1460","DOI":"10.1152\/japplphysiol.01267.2005","article-title":"Muscle size and strength are increased following walk training with restricted venous blood flow from the leg muscle, Kaatsu-walk training","volume":"100","author":"Abe","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
