Blood Flow Restriction
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a training strategy involving the use of cuffs or wraps placed around a limb during exercise, to maintin arterial inflow to the muscle while preventing venous return.
What is Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)
BFR uses a specialized tourniquet system to limit arterial inflow and occlude venous outflow of an exercising limb. The hypoxic environment created, stimulates strength and hypertrophy gains at a much lighter load.
It is a noninvasive approach for all patients who would be a candidate for surgical procedures involving a tourniquet.
RESULTS WITH BFR
- Diminish atrophy and loss of strength from disuse and non-weight bearing after injuries
- Increase strength with only 30% loads of one rep max
- Gain/Induce hypertrophy with only 30% loads
- Improve muscle endurance in 1/3 the time
- Improve muscle protein synthesis in the elderly
- Improve strength and hypertrophy after surgery
- Improve muscle activation
- Increase growth hormone secretion
