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 …

Background Low-load resistance training (< 50% of one-repetition maximum [1RM])
associated with blood-flow restriction (BFR-RT) has been thought to promote increases in …

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 …

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 …

Societies are progressively aging, with the oldest old (ie., those aged> 80–85 years) being
the most rapidly expanding population segment. However, advanced aging comes at a …

Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) occurs in critically ill patients stemming from
the critical illness itself, and results in sustained disability long after the ICU stay. Weakness …

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

Background: There is growing evidence to support the use of low-load blood flow restriction
(LL-BFR) exercise in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Purpose: The purpose of this study was …

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 …

Background Blood flow restriction (BFR) training has been reported to have significant
benefits on local skeletal muscle including increasing local muscle mass, strength, and …
