Restricted Blood Flow versus Resisted Training in Elderly Women with Sarcopenia
Abstract:Background: A decrease in muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle function is a hallmark of sarcopenia. The best training method for treating and preventing sarcopenia is resistance training (RT). Traditional high -load resistance training (CRT), which is recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine is difficult for older people with sarcopenia. Low-load RT with blood flow restriction (LRT-BFR), a novel training approach, has the potential to increase muscle development and strength similarly to CRT… Show more
