“…This hypothesis is supported by several experimental and clinical studies demonstrating the role of metaboreflex activation on neural and hemodynamic responses to exercise in healthy and clinical populations (2,20,28,38,49,52,54,87,120,143,150,156). Recent studies have assessed cardiovascular responses during typical BFRT sessions (6,14,16,29,36,71,76,85,88,114,124,125,127,128,142,146,150,155,156,167). The equivocal results of these limited studies suggest that further investigation of the cardiovascular responses to BFRT are necessary and required to properly assess the cardiovascular safety of this method of exercise training.…”
