BACKGROUND Blood flow restricted (BFR) training, the brief and partial restriction of venous outflow of an extremity during low load resistance exercises, is a safe and effective method of improving strength in healthy, active individuals. A relatively unexplored potential of this adjunctive modality lies in treating patients with severe musculoskeletal trauma, persistent chronic quadriceps and...

BACKGROUND Exercise during haemodialysis improves strength and physical function. However, both patients and clinicians are time poor, and current exercise recommendations add an excessive time burden making exercise a rare addition to standard care. Hypothetically, blood flow restriction exercise performed during haemodialysis can provide greater value for time spent exercising, reducing this ...

conclusions results suggest that these methods cannot be interchanged, and vvi showed significantly lower lv peak twist, peak twisting rate and peak untwisting rate. however, when lv twist and lv twisting rates were normalized to lv length, values were comparable for both imaging techniques. results twist degree was significantly lower in the vvi group than in the tdi group (p = 0.008, r = 0.56...

this study aimed at determining the chronic and acute effect of submaximal pedaling activity along with blood flow restriction on serum bdnf, tnf-α and bdnf/tnf-α ratio in active men. 24 physical education students at kharazmi university volunteered for the study. they were divided into three groups: pedaling with lower extremity vascular occlusion (n=8), pedaling without occlusion (n=8), and c...

Die Physiotherapeutin Nina Sieberer beschäftigte sich in ihrer Bachelorarbeit mit der aktuellen Evidenz zum Thema Gonarthrose und Blood Flow Restriction Training. Sie fand heraus, dass bei Gelenkbeschwerden ein intensives Training oft nicht durchführbar ist deshalb sinnvoll sein kann, um die Kraft zu steigern, den Muskelquerschnitt vergrößern Schmerz reduzieren.

Blood flow restriction (BFR) may become ineffective or potentially dangerous without sufficient standardization. The purpose of this investigation was therefore to (1) assess the viability multiple sizes a novel BFR cuff determine arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) and (2) compare resting arterial, venous calf muscle pump (cMP)-mediated blood between aforementioned conditions commonly employed w...

Using a mid- to late-gestation ovine model of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), we examined uteroplacental blood flow and fetal growth during melatonin supplementation as a 2 × 2 factorial design. At day 50 of gestation, 32 ewes were supplemented with 5 mg of melatonin (MEL) or no melatonin (CON) and were allocated to receive 100% [adequate; (ADQ)] or 60% [restricted (RES)] of nutrient re...
