Effect of Blood Flow Restriction on Recovery After Maximal Resistance Exercise
Effect of Blood Flow Restriction on Recovery After Maximal Resistance Exercise: a Controlled Clinical Trial
Paulista University
80 participants
Feb 1, 2026
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Resistance training has been widely performed due to its health benefits. However, performing this training at high intensity causes significant muscle stress, leading to fatigue and compromising performance. It is essential to implement effective recovery strategies to optimize physiological adaptations. Among the accessible techniques, blood flow restriction (BFR) has shown promise for its potential to accelerate muscle recovery.
