Blood flow restriction (BFR) is an expanding rehabilitation modality that uses a tourniquet to
reduce arterial inflow and occlude venous outflow in the setting of resistance training or …

Blood flow restriction resistance training (BFRT) employs partial vascular occlusion of
exercising muscles via inflation cuffs. Compared with high-load resistance training …

Introduction: The endocannabinoid (eCB) system plays a key role in maintaining
homeostasis, including the regulation of metabolism and stress responses. Chronic stress …

Abstracts Objective To review past literature regarding exercise-induced hypoalgesia and
pain reduction following blood flow restriction interventions, and to discuss potential …

This study examined the effect of aerobic exercise with and without blood flow restriction
(BFR) on exercise-induced hypoalgesia and endogenous opioid and endocannabinoid …

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is increasing in popularity in the fitness and
rehabilitation settings due to its role in optimizing muscle mass and strength as well as …

Background Blood flow restriction combined with low load resistance training (LL-BFRT) is
associated with increases in upper limb muscle strength and size. The effect of LL-BFRT on …

Background Due to the pain caused by knee injuries, low-load resistance training with blood
flow restriction (L-BFR) may be a potential adjuvant therapeutic tool in the rehabilitation of …

It is well-established that a single bout of exercise can reduce pain sensitivity (ie, exercise-
induced hypoalgesia) in healthy individuals. However, exercise-induced hypoalgesia is …

Purpose: To 1) examine whether blood flow restriction would provide an additional exercise-
induced hypoalgesic response at an upper and lower limb when it is incorporated with low …
