Hemodynamic response to resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction in healthy subjects

Abstract

The LI-BFR session exhibited similar blood lactate to the HI, a higher rating of perceived response than the HI and LI, and equal or lower hemodynamic responses than the HI.

Haemodynamic responses during resistance exercise with blood flow restriction in hypertensive subjects

“…In another study from our research group, with a similar methodology, haemodynamic differences were not found between exercises with BFR in comparison with exercises with a heavy load but without BFR in a normotensive population (Poton & Polito, ). These results suggest that the population characteristics can influence haemodynamic responses during the exercise.…”

“…This point was considered as the blood flow value to be used in the BFR session. The BFR value was based on previous studies of our laboratory (Poton & Polito, ,b).…”

“…However, there is no consensus about the optimum cuff pressure during resistance exercise with BFR to increase strength/muscle mass and simultaneous cardiovascular safety. Two previous studies of our laboratory compared haemodynamic responses during a bilateral leg‐press exercise (Poton & Polito, ) and unilateral knee extension exercise (Poton & Polito, ) with and without BFR in healthy subjects. In both studies, the BFR was individually determined when the blood flow stopped.…”

Hemodynamic responses to strength exercise with blood flow restriction during different phases of the menstrual cycle

“…With respect to the greater increase in hemodynamics in the LL and LL+BFR groups when compared with the HI group, four studies disagree with our findings Okuno et al, 2014;Poton & Polito, 2016, 2015, and one corroborates with our findings (Araújo et al, 2014). In this context, we observed that the hemodynamics seem to significantly increase the HI protocol when compared with LL or LL+BFR in men.…”

Perceptual and arterial occlusion responses to very low load blood flow restricted exercise performed to volitional failure

“…a set number of repetitions) indicating that greater restriction augments the cardiovascular response that occurs during low load knee extension exercise (Rossow et al, 2012). Additionally, previous studies have shown that bilateral knee extension exercise with blood flow restriction does not increase systolic blood pressure (~66%) above traditional high load knee extension exercises (~72%; Poton & Polito, 2015), although the low load blood flow restriction conditions were not performed until volitional failure. Additionally, previous studies have shown that bilateral knee extension exercise with blood flow restriction does not increase systolic blood pressure (~66%) above traditional high load knee extension exercises (~72%; Poton & Polito, 2015), although the low load blood flow restriction conditions were not performed until volitional failure.…”
