Mechanisms underlying mechanical overload-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy have
been extensively researched since the landmark report by Morpurgo (1897) of “work …

Background and objective Low-load exercise training with blood flow restriction (BFR) can
increase muscle strength and may offer an effective clinical musculoskeletal (MSK) …

Background: Effective hypertrophy-oriented resistance training (RT) should comprise a
combination of mechanical tension and metabolic stress. Regarding training variables, 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 We implemented a blood flow restriction resistance training (BFR-RT)
intervention during an 8-week rehabilitation programme in anterior cruciate ligament …

An active lifestyle is crucial to maintain health into old age; inversely, sedentariness has
been linked to an elevated risk for many chronic diseases. The discovery of myokines …

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 …

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 …
