Abstract

Blood flow restriction training utilizes a tourniquet system to occlude arterial and venous flow while one performs exercises. This training strategy allows one to exercise using loads at a lower percentage of 1RM while experiencing physiological change similar to those achieved when training at a higher percentage of 1RM.
