About

The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate whether IPC can improve aerobic capacity during exercise. The primary question it aims to answer is: Does IPC enhance the aerobic capacity of athletes? The researchers will compare IPC (220 mmHg pressure) with a placebo (20 mmHg pressure) to see if different interventions can enhance aerobic capacity and exercise performance.

Participants will:

Undergo a randomized crossover controlled trial, visiting twice, with a one-week interval between each test.
Conduct two assessments at the testing site each time, namely a pre-intervention assessment and a post-intervention assessment.
Record their heart rate, blood pressure, weight, oxygen uptake, Taekwondo-specific performance, and other indicators.
