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 …

Training with blood flow restriction (BFR) has been shown to be a useful technique to
improve muscle hypertrophy, muscle strength and a host of other physiological benefits in …

The use of blood flow restricted (BFR) exercise has become an accepted alternative
approach to improve skeletal muscle mass and function and improve cardiovascular …

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 …

Recent studies have investigated relative pressures that are applied during blood flow
restriction exercise ranging from 40%–90% of resting arterial occlusion pressure; however …

Blood flow restriction by itself or in combination with exercise has been shown to produce
beneficial adaptations to skeletal muscle. These adaptations have been observed across a …
