- Title
Can low-load blood flow restriction training elicit muscle hypertrophy with modest inflammation and cellular stress, but minimal muscle damage?
- Authors
Allsopp, Giselle L.; May, Anthony K.
- Abstract
The article discusses the role of low-load blood flow restriction (BFR) training on skeletal muscle damage. It provides discussion of the concept of the BFR training through several studies and its role in improving skeletal muscle strength in patients who are contra-indicated from performing traditional heavy-load resistance exercise. It also emphasizes that low-load BFR training can elicit muscle hypertrophy without inducing muscle damage and oxidative stress.
