Blood Flow
Restriction Training
01
What is it?
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a technique that involves the application of pressure cuffs to partially occlude blood flow to the muscles at low-intensity resistance exercises in order to achieve similar results to high intensity exercise.
02
Benefits
The benefits of BFR training include increased muscle mass and strength, improved cardiovascular endurance, and accelerated recovery. By creating a hypoxic environment within the muscle, BFR training promotes greater metabolic stress and muscle fiber recruitment, leading to significant gains with less strain on the joints and tendons compared to traditional high-intensity training.
03
Who's Appropriate?
This method is suitable for a wide range of individuals, including those recovering from injuries, older adults, and athletes seeking to enhance muscle strength and hypertrophy without the stress of heavy lifting.
