Skeletal muscle adaptations following blood flow-restricted training during 30 days of muscular unloading.

Nutrition coupled with high-load or low-load blood flow restricted exercise during human limb suspension

Background High-load resistance exercise (HRE) and low-load blood flow restricted (BFR) exercise have demonstrated efficacy for attenuating unloading related muscle atrophy and dysfunction. Protein consumption immediately before and/or after exercise has been shown to increase the skeletal muscle anabolic response to resistance training. The purpose of this study was to compare the skeletal mus...

Role of resistance training with the approach of blood flow restriction in skeletal muscle cell growth

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the response of ERK1/2 protein and muscular morphological adaptations to a period of resistance training with local blood flow restriction. Materials and methods: Twenty healthy male Wistar rats without clinically evident disease (5 weeks old, 120±7 g weight) were divided into four equal groups: control, control with limited blood flow...

Comparison of the Effects of Resistance Training with Blood Flow Restriction and Traditional Resistance Training on Myostatin, Muscle Mass and some Physiological Factors in Middle-Aged Women: A Clinical Trial

    Background and Objectives: The response of myostatin to resistance training with blood flow restriction is not perfectly clear. Therefore, the purpose of this study comparing the effects of eight weeks resistance training with blood flow restriction and traditional resistance training on myostatin, muscle mass and some related-muscle physiological factors in middle-aged women. Materials ...

The effects of practical vascular blood flow restriction training on skeletal muscle hypertrophy

Background Practical blood flow restriction training is a novel training method that has the potential to increase muscular hypertrophy and muscular strength while allowing individuals to train with lighter loads (20-30% of 1-RM). Through the use of elastic knee wraps, the limbs can be restricted using a perceived pressure scale. The comparison of practical blood flow resistance training with t...
