        The sport of wrestling poses several challenges for strength and conditioning addressed by&#xD;
        designing a resistance training program to meet these requirements. This Study provides&#xD;
        recommendations for implementing an effective resistance training program for wrestlers.Blood&#xD;
        Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a technique that combines low intensity exercise with&#xD;
        blood flow occlusion that produces similar results to high intensity training.&#xD;
        High-intensity, slow-motion strength training helps build muscle mass faster than lifting&#xD;
        regular weights. This is because the slow-motion forces your muscles to hold the weight&#xD;
        longer. With standard weightlifting, the faster the momentum, the less time your muscles are&#xD;
        engaged.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        This study will be conducted to compare effect of blood flow resistance and slow motion&#xD;
        strength training on power and lower limb function among wrestler players.All subjects will&#xD;
        be selected between age 18 to 35 years.Data will be collected from players in Pakistan sports&#xD;
        board . Study design will be Randomized clinical trial. Measuring tape,1RM tests,vertical&#xD;
        jump test and Timed push ups and pull ups test will be used to asses the power and lower limb&#xD;
        function. Informed consent will be taken from All the participants.Athletes will be allocated&#xD;
        randomly into two main groups.Group A and group B. On group A blood flow resistance training&#xD;
        method will be performed and group B will be provided by slow motion strength training method&#xD;
        to compare the effects of both techniques. Study will be conducted in nine months time period&#xD;
        after the approval of synopsis. Data will be collected at the start of the research and after&#xD;
        one year post research data will collected for analysis. SPSS will be used for data entry and&#xD;
        analysis.&#xD;
