Blood Flow Restriction Training for Hypertrophy: How To Gain More By Doing Less

During my undergraduate studies in sports science, and even now as part of my postgraduate research in the medical field, I continue to encounter blood flow restriction (BFR) as a tool.

I intentionally keep that sentence vague because BFR seems to serve multiple purposes, depending on how it’s applied. I have seen it being used in both sports settings to enhance muscle growth and in cardiovascular rehabilitation settings where it can offer a protective effect against injury incurred by ischaemia (loss of blood supply) and reperfusion (regained blood circulation) in events, such as an acute myocardial infarction, otherwise known as a heart attack.
