Muscular Adaptations to Whole Body Blood Flow Restriction Training and Detraining

Autor: Christopher R. Brandner, Matthew J. Clarkson, Dawson J. Kidgell, Stuart A. Warmington

Publikováno v: Frontiers in Physiology, Vol 10 (2019)

Resistance training with blood flow restriction is typically performed during single exercises for the lower- or upper-body, which may not replicate real world programming. The present study examined the change in muscle strength and mass in a young
