The physiological, morphological and functional responses to resistance exercise with blood flow restriction: an examination of protocol type and exercise load
Abstract:Resistance training is performed by a wide range of populations, to achieve a diverse range of outcomes in skeletal muscle. Predominantly, such outcomes include the development and/or maintenance of skeletal muscle mass and strength but may also include muscular power or endurance. Blood flow restricted (BFR) resistance exercise is recognized as a novel strategy to achieve such outcomes in skeletal muscle, with much lower-loads (20-50% of one-repetition maximum) than those traditionally employed. The capacity … Show more
