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 …

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 …

Objectives To systematically search and assess studies that have combined blood flow
restriction (BFR) with exercise, and to perform meta-analysis of the reported results 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 …

Purpose The main aim of this study was to examine differences in upper arm arterial
occlusion pressure (AOP) between three different cuff widths and how individual …

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the acute and chronic skeletal muscle
response to differing levels of blood flow restriction (BFR) pressure. Methods: Fourteen …

High-load resistance training (HL) may be contraindicated in older adults due to pre-existing
health conditions (eg osteoarthritis). Low-load blood flow restricted (BFR) resistance training …

Increasing muscle strength and cross-sectional area is of crucial importance to improve or
maintain physical function in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and sports performance …

Objectives This study aimed to collate current evidence regarding the efficacy of various
blood flow restriction (BFR) strategies for well-trained athletes, and to provide insight …
