The current manuscript sets out a series of guidelines for blood flow restriction exercise,
focusing on the methodology, application and safety of this mode of training. With the …

Increased life expectancy combined with the aging baby boomer generation has resulted in
an unprecedented global expansion of the elderly population. The growing population of …

Background The combination of low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction
(BFR) has recently been shown to promote muscular adaptations in various populations. To …

It has traditionally been believed that resistance training can only induce muscle growth
when the exercise intensity is greater than 65% of the 1-repetition maximum (RM). However …

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training (also known as Kaatsu training) is an increasingly
common practice employed during resistance exercise by athletes attempting to enhance …

Background and Purpose: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with decreases in
neurons in several important areas for memory and learning in the brain, especially in the …

Background: ACL reconstruction often results in an extended period of muscle atrophy and
weakness. Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is a technique that has been shown to …

When restricting blood flow for the purpose of increasing or maintaining muscle fitness, the
aim is to reduce the amount of arterial flow into the limb and restrict the venous flow out of …

Background As brain function declines and cognitive ability declines, the benefits of
resistance exercise to the brain of older people are gradually gaining attention. Objective …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the acute hormone response to exercise
differed between low intensity blood flow restricted resistance exercise and traditional high …
