- Abstract
The article offers the authors' insights on the cellular investigation regarding blood flow restriction (BFR) in the absence of exercise. The authors mention that BFR with low intensity exercise improves muscle function and size and favor muscular adaptations. They also states that despite important role played by reductionism in science, several problems might occur such as the increase of electromyography (EMG) activity.
