Article Synopsis
- BFRRE is an effective method for stimulating muscle growth and improving strength in older adults, showing significant increases in muscle fiber size after 6 weeks of training.
- The study involved 23 participants aged 66, who underwent supervised BFRRE sessions, with muscle biopsies taken to assess changes in muscle structure and function.
- Findings indicated that while BFRRE led to increased muscle fiber size and enhanced maximal strength and endurance, there were no changes in muscle stem cells or myonuclear content, suggesting alternative mechanisms for muscle growth in older individuals.
