Article Synopsis
- The study explored the application and prevalence of side effects (SEs) associated with blood flow restriction (BFR) techniques used by Brazilian professionals in physical rehabilitation, sports science, and conditioning.
- Most professionals applied BFR, particularly on individuals aged 20 to 29, often combined with resistance exercises aimed at fostering muscle growth and rehabilitation.
- A significant number (92%) of professionals reported observing at least one SE, with common issues including tingling (71.2%) and delayed muscle soreness (55.8%), though serious side effects like rhabdomyolysis and fainting were rare.
