The objective of this meta-analysis is to compare the effects on muscle strength and hypertrophy of low and high-intensity aerobic training with BFR (LI-BFR and HI-BFR) versus low and high-intensity aerobic training without BFR (LI and HI). The search was performed in five databases, by two independent researchers, and the terms and keywords used to optimize the searches were related to blood flow restriction and aerobic training. All studies were evaluated for methodological quality using the PEDro scale and for quality of evidence using the GRADE system.

However, there are no data that evaluate the long-term adaptation of the autonomic nervous system and its influence on the performance, especially with eccentric contractions.
Objective: To perform a systematic autonomous monitoring during eccentric training with BFR at different loads and to correlate them with possible changes in the performance METHODS: This is a 4-arms, randomized controlled and single blind trial.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effects of low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction (LLRT-BFR), low-load resistance training (LLRT), and high-load resistance training (HLRT) on cardiovascular health in healthy young individuals.
- Researchers reviewed 19 randomized controlled trials across seven databases to analyze these training methods.
- Findings show that LLRT-BFR results in lower cardiac output and heart rate compared to HLRT, but overall, there are no significant acute benefits from using blood flow restriction alongside low-load training.
To evaluate the effects of 12-week Pilates training program on cardiac autonomic modulation. A randomized controlled trial of a 12-week Pilates training program was conducted. A total of 54 men were randomly allocated to either a control or a Pilates group.

Introduction: Due to its greater generation of muscle strength and less metabolic demand, eccentric exercise has been widely used in rehabilitation and for improving physical fitness. However, eccentric exercise can induce muscle damage by providing structural changes and reduced muscle function, so even with the protection caused by the repeated bout effect from eccentric exercise, it is necessary to seek alternatives to reduce this damage caused by stress. Thus, ischemic preconditioning could represent an aid to reduce the damage muscle or increase the protective effect caused by eccentric exercise.
