The objective of exercise training is to initiate desirable physiological adaptations that
ultimately enhance physical work capacity. Optimal training prescription requires an …

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training (also known as Kaatsu training) is an increasingly
common practice employed during resistance exercise by athletes attempting to enhance …

The accepted model of autonomic control of heart rate (HR) during dynamic exercise
indicates that the initial increase is entirely attributable to the withdrawal of parasympathetic …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results not only in motor and sensory deficits but also in autonomic
dysfunctions. The disruption of connections between higher brain centers and the spinal …

Autonomic nervous system adjustments to the heart and blood vessels are necessary for
mediating the cardiovascular responses required to meet the metabolic demands of working …

Group III and IV muscle afferents originating in exercising limb muscle play a significant role
in the development of fatigue during exercise in humans. Feedback from these sensory …

The exercise pressor reflex is a feedback mechanism engaged upon stimulation of mechano-
and metabosensitive skeletal muscle afferents. Activation of these afferents elicits a reflex …

This review covers the control of blood pressure, cardiac output and muscle blood flow by
the muscle metaboreflex which involves chemically sensitive nerves located in muscle …

Aim: To verify the on and off heart rate (HR) and HR variability (HRV) kinetics during a high-
load aerobic exercise and a low-load aerobic exercise, with and without blood flow …

Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is an increasingly widespread method of exercise that
involves imposed restriction of blood flow to the exercising muscle. Blood flow restriction is …
