Article Synopsis
  • This study examined how different limb occlusion pressure (LOP) positions impact exercise performance, cardiovascular responses, and subjective experiences during leg extensions with blood flow restriction (BFR).
  • Thirty resistance-trained males completed exercises in three conditions: Supine LOP-BFR, Seated LOP-BFR, and no-BFR, finding that BFR reduced the number of repetitions completed.
  • Results showed that Seated LOP-BFR increased perceived exertion and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) compared to Supine LOP-BFR and no-BFR, while cardiovascular responses remained unchanged across conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the impact of an 8-week preoperative low-load blood flow restricted resistance training (BFR-RT) program on knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared to conventional care with no exercise.
  • Results showed no significant differences in physical function or patient-reported outcomes between the BFR-RT and the usual care group at 3 and 12 months post-surgery.
  • However, BFR-RT led to notable improvements in lower limb strength at 3 months postoperatively, indicating that it may enhance muscle strength but not necessarily overall physical function post-TKA.

There is conflicting evidence related to the prevalence and magnitude of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) following four sets to volitional failure with BFR (BFR-F) or 75 total repetitions with BFR (1 × 30, 3 × 15, BFR-75). The purpose of this investigation was to examine muscle swelling, peak torque, and neuromuscular responses following BFR-75 and BFR-F. Thirteen untrained women completed unilateral isokinetic (120°s) leg extensions concentric-eccentric at 30% of their maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) using BFR-75 and BFR-F protocols, separated by 15 minutes.
