Human skeletal muscle demonstrates remarkable plasticity, adapting to numerous external
stimuli including the habitual level of contractile loading. Accordingly, muscle function and …

Background: Effective hypertrophy-oriented resistance training (RT) should comprise a
combination of mechanical tension and metabolic stress. Regarding training variables, the …

Introduction Heavy‐load strength training (HLT) is generally considered the Gold Standard
exercise modality for inducing gains in skeletal muscle strength. However, use of heavy …

Muscle weakness and atrophy are common impairments after musculoskeletal injury. Blood
flow restriction (BFR) training offers the ability to mitigate weakness and atrophy without …

Blood flow restriction (BFR) is an expanding rehabilitation modality that uses a tourniquet to
reduce arterial inflow and occlude venous outflow in the setting of resistance training or …

Outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) need improving, with
poor return-to-sport rates and a high risk of secondary re-injury. There is a need to improve …

Background: The effectiveness of blood flow restriction training (BFRT) as compared with
other forms of training, such as resistance training, has been evaluated in the literature in …

This study aimed to investigate and compare the magnitude of exercise-induced
hypoalgesia (EIH) with low-intensity blood flow restriction (BFR) resistance exercise (RE) at …

Skeletal muscle is a highly adaptable organ, and its amount declines under catabolic
conditions such as critical illness. Aging is accompanied by a gradual loss of muscle …

Patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and patients suffering
from knee osteoarthritis (KOA) have been shown to have quadriceps muscle weakness …
