Article Synopsis
  • No previous research has explored standard blood flow restriction (BFR) training in people with severe hemophilia, making this study unique.
  • The aim was to assess how well these individuals tolerate low load knee extensions with BFR, along with monitoring any adverse effects and their muscle responses.
  • Results indicated that while the BFR session was safe and feasible, some muscle impairments might hinder the positive effects typically seen with BFR training.

Neuromuscular responses and perceptions of health status and pain-related constructs in end-stage knee osteoarthritis during resistance training with blood flow restriction. J Strength Cond Res 38(4): 762-772, 2024-We aimed to evaluate the neuromuscular responses and their relationship with health status, kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, and chronic pain self-efficacy in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis during acute resistance training with different levels of blood flow restriction (BFR).

Background: Blood flow restriction (BFR) training could be a valuable treatment to induce exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH) in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis. However, the use of BFR in these patients is poorly explored and there is no evidence about the training dosage needed.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of resistance training protocols with different occlusion levels of blood flow restriction (BFR) on EIH in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis.

Objective: To compare the safety, feasibility, and neuromuscular activity of acute low-load resistance exercise with/without blood flow restriction (BFR) in people with severe hemophilia (PwH).

Methods: Eight PwH under prophylaxis (5 with resistance training experience) performed 6 randomly ordered conditions of 3 intensity-matched knee extensions: no external load and no BFR, no external load and light BFR (20% of arterial occlusion pressure [AOP]), no external load and moderate BFR (40% AOP), external low load and no BFR, external low load with light BFR, and external low load with moderate BFR. Rated perceived exertion, pain, exercise tolerability, and adverse effects were assessed.
