Limb blood flow and tissue perfusion during exercise with blood flow restriction

Introduction: Exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) is emerging as an effective modality for improving muscular function in clinical and athletic populations. Selection of cuff pressure is critical because it should maximize metabolic stress …

Central cardiovascular hemodynamic response to unilateral handgrip exercise with blood flow restriction

Aim: Exercise training with blood flow restriction (BFR) increases muscle size and strength. However, there is limited investigation into the effects of BFR on cardiovascular health, particularly central hemodynamic load. Purpose: To determine the …
