Arm and Leg Occlusion Training Blood Flow Restriction bfr Band Amazon Trending Personalized Air Cuffs Muscle Training bands 

A. Build muscle

1.Muscle growth is due to mechanical tension and metabolic stress. A typical muscle-building exercise is to complete 10-15 repetitions of 65% of your maximum load with short rest between sets.

2. In BFR training, mechanical tension was significantly reduced. BFR training can also have a muscle-building effect at 20% maximum load.

3. A blood flow restriction band allows blood to flow into the muscle group but restricts the amount of blood flowing out. The result is a buildup of swelling and byproducts from muscle contractions that increase metabolic stress and thus promote muscle growth.

4. Less time and lighter weight training can BUILD MUSCLE which is why this method is so popular in the bodybuilding industry.

 

B. Rehabilitation.

1.Potential Applications in Clinical Practice

1) Non operative subjects
2) Post operative subjects
3) Normal (sports, fitness)
4) Geriatrics population

2.BFR is most commonly in patients recovering from

1) Fractures (don’t heal properly)
2) ACL injuries other
3) Sprains/strains
4) Rotator cuff injuries
5) Achilles tendon injuries
6) Patellofemoral pain
7) Total Joint Replacements
8) Symptomatic Joint Arthritis

3.Rehabilitation Mechanism

1) Increase metabolic stress by diminished blood flow
2) Increase muscle fibre recruitment during exercise
3) Elevates systemic hormonal production
4) Enhanced muscle protein synthesis (Due to phosphorylation of protein)
5) LRT-BFR with a depletion of phosphocreatine stores, decrease in the muscle’s pH

4.Advantages  

1) Light weights - less risk of muscle strain or joint injury
2) Light loads - less soreness and quicker recovery
3) Portability - strength training can be done anywhere
4) Movements specific - movements can be practiced resulting in functional strength gains

5.Benefits of BFR

1) Diminish atrophy and loss of strength from disuse and non-weight bearing after injuries
2) Increase strength, hypertrophy with only 30% load
3) Improve muscle endurance in 1/3 the time
4) Improve muscle protein synthesis in the elderly
5) Improve strength and hypertrophy after surgery
6) Increase growth hormone responses which increases collagen synthesis
7) Important for tissue regeneration after injury
