An acute crossover trial of passive movement training with and without blood flow restriction to determine the impact on postprandial glycaemia. [PDF]

Exp Physiol
Abstract During glucose uptake into muscle, GLUT‐4 can translocate with stimulus from insulin or muscle contraction via exercise, but some exercise‐intolerant populations are unable to benefit from improved glycaemic control. We investigated how passive movement training (PMT) and passive movement training with blood flow restriction (PMT+BFR) could be

Inter-Set Blood-Flow Restriction Increases Peripheral Physiological Stress While Preserving Repeated-Sprint Mechanical Output in Trained Athletes. [PDF]

Eur J Sport Sci
ABSTRACT Inter‐set blood‐flow restriction (BFR) may increase the physiological stimulus of repeated‐sprint exercise without compromising mechanical output, but evidence in trained athletes is limited. In a randomized crossover design, 26 national‐level male badminton players completed three 5 × 5‐s cycling sprints (25‐s intra‐set rest, 3.5‐min inter ...

The effect of blood flow restriction combined with different resistance training on the improvement of athletic performance in male tactical personnel [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
PurposeThis study aimed to compare the effects of resistance training programs combining different load intensities with blood flow restriction (BFR), alongside a traditional high-load resistance training condition, on athletic performance in male ...

Translational perspectives on neurophysiological responses and mechanisms in blood flow restriction exercise. [PDF]

Exp Physiol
Abstract Maintaining corticospinal tract function is crucial for voluntary movement. Exercise using high external loads/intensities is a promising intervention to promote adaptations to the corticospinal tract and improve physical function; however, such loads/intensities may not be tolerable or safe in populations with neurological disorders, motor ...

Blood Flow Restriction in Athletic Populations—Part 2: Applications in Resistance Training Across the Loading Spectrum [PDF]

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Background: Blood flow restriction (BFR) resistance exercise has emerged as a training methodology capable of inducing muscular adaptations comparable to traditional high-load training despite substantially lower mechanical loads.

Jumping in simulated lunar gravity with blood flow restriction as a potential exercise countermeasure: The acute physiological effects. [PDF]

Exp Physiol
Abstract The present study examined the cardiovascular, metabolic, neuromuscular and perceptual effects of low‐intensity jumping in simulated lunar gravity (∼20% bodyweight) with blood flow restriction (BFR). Fourteen healthy adults (24 ± 4 years; 1.81 ± 0.06 m; 75 ± 12 kg) completed an incremental jumping test in simulated lunar gravity (9.5° head‐up ...

Effectiveness of Blood Flow Restriction Training in Neurological Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis [PDF]

Sports Medicine - Open
Introduction Muscle weakness is a common impairment following neurological disorders, yet traditional high-load training aimed at addressing this is often impractical or unsafe for these patients.

Utilizing Low-Intensity Blood Flow Restriction Training to Improve Aerobic Capacity in Physically Active and Injured Individuals: A Critically Appraised Topic

Journal of Sports Medicine and Allied Health Sciences: Official Journal of the Ohio Athletic Trainers' Association, 2021
Purpose: To determine if, in physically active individuals, low-intensity Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is more effective than training without BFR at improving measures of aerobic capacity.

Blood Flow Restriction Training: To Adjust or Not Adjust the Cuff Pressure Over an Intervention Period?

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Blood flow restriction (BFR) training combines exercise and partial reduction of muscular blood flow using a pressured cuff. BFR training has been used to increase strength and muscle mass in healthy and clinical populations.

Effect of Low-Load Blood Flow Restriction Training After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review

International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, 2022
# Background Quadriceps strength and mass deficits are common after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Postoperatively, heavy load resistance training can have detrimental effects on knee joint pain and ACL graft laxity.
