Influence of blood flow occlusion on muscle oxygenation characteristics and the parameters of the power-duration relationship
It was previously (Monod H, Scherrer J. Ergonomics 8: 329–338, 1965) postulated that blood
flow occlusion during exercise would reduce critical power (CP) to 0 Watts (W), while not …
