Safety Of Blood Flow Restriction Training For Musculoskeletal Disorders: An Evidence-To-Practice Review, Breanna Ferguson, Erica Schulman, Matthew Zimmerman, Zachary K. Winkelmann
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is low-level resistance training while partially occluding proximal blood flow. It is well documented that this style of training leads to increased muscle size as well as strength. It is theorized that these size and strength gains are due in part to the decreased oxygen environment. This results in increased muscular stress without the need for increased external load making this style of resistance training ideal for individuals who have restrictions due to musculoskeletal disorders. The guiding systematic review examined the safety of BFRT when used as a therapeutic intervention for patients with a variety …
