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

The exercise pressor reflex is a feedback mechanism engaged upon stimulation of mechano-
and metabosensitive skeletal muscle afferents. Activation of these afferents elicits a reflex …

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is increasing in popularity in the fitness and
rehabilitation settings due to its role in optimizing muscle mass and strength as well as …

This study systematically reviewed the available scientific evidence on the changes
promoted by low‐intensity (LI) resistance training (RT) combined with blood flow restriction …

The cardiovascular response to exercise is largely determined by neurocirculatory control
mechanisms that help to raise blood pressure and modulate vascular resistance which, in …

Purpose This study aimed to compare haemodynamic, rating of perceived exertion and
blood lactate responses during resistance exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) …

Key points Mechanical and metabolic stimuli from contracting muscles evoke reflex
increases in blood pressure, heart rate and sympathetic nerve activity. Little is known …

An exaggerated blood pressure (BP) response to maximal exercise is an independent risk
factor for cardiovascular events and mortality. It is unclear whether treating BP to guideline …

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension are highly prevalent worldwide health problems
and frequently associated with severe clinical complications, such as diabetic …

Introduction: Prior studies report conflicting evidence regarding exercise pressor and
metaboreflex responses in individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Purpose: To test the …
