Progression of Blood Flow Restricted Resistance Training in Older Adults at Risk of Mobility Limitations

Blood flow restriction (BFR) resistance training leads to increased muscle mass and strength but the progression leading to adaptations may be different as strength gains are often to a lesser magnitude than high-load (HL) training. The impact of training loads and repetitions on older adults’ muscl...
