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 …

A growing body of evidence supports the use of moderate blood flow restriction (BFR)
combined with low-load resistance exercise to enhance hypertrophic and strength …

It is well established that regimented resistance training can promote increases in muscle
hypertrophy. The prevailing body of research indicates that mechanical stress is the primary …

The primary objective of this investigation was to quantitatively identify which training
variables result in the greatest strength and hypertrophy outcomes with lower body low …

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training (also known as Kaatsu training) is an increasingly

In order to stimulate further adaptation toward a specific training goal (s), progression in the
type of resistance training protocol used is necessary. The optimal characteristics of strength …
