Blood flow restriction augments the cross-education effect of isometric handgrip training In this study, Dr Loennekes lab investigated the cross-education of strength following isometric handgrip exercise with and without blood flow restriction. In the trained arm, muscle strength increased the most following high-force contractions, followed by low-force contractions in combination with blood flow restriction. Interestingly, […]

How to set the Blood Flow Restriction Pressure

Research / Jeremy P. Loenneke

The purpose of blood flow restriction is to partially reduce blood flow into the muscle and largely prevent blood flow from leaving the muscle. This is accomplished through the application of a cuff to the limb. Early work applied the same pressure to each individual but more recent recommendations suggest making the pressure relative to
