Mechanisms of muscle adaptations to blood flow restriction exercise : An examination of local and remote skeletal muscle adaptions following blood flow restriction training

Anthony K. May

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This study investigated how low intensity resistance training performed with localised blood flow restriction may cause improvements to muscle strength and size. Results showed that muscle strength is likely increased by whole-body neurological adaptations, and muscle size by cellular growth pathways similar to traditional heavy-load resistance training.
