B3 BFR Bands for Physically Challenged Individuals

CONCLUSION: 

The results were that BFR training can produce functional improvements, reduce restless leg syndrome symptoms and can be safely utilized with a subject with Parkinson's who wishes to maintain his ability to remain recreationally active.

Peer Review : Effects of Blood Flow Restriction on Cerebral Blood Flow

CONCLUSIONS:

The results of this study suggest that BFR exercise has a positive effect on the brain by increasing cerebral blood flow and that is is useful for treating diseases such as stroke and cognitive disorders caused by brain dysfunction

CONCLUSIONS:

The greater improvement in physical function with blood flow restriction demonstrates how this addition can increase the quality of simple walking exercise for populations that may be contraindicated to heavy-load resistance training

Summary

Using BFR showed improved skeletal bone mass patterns

Low intensity exercise combined with BFR may provide not only an increase in muscle adaptation, but also in bone and consequently modification in its biomarkers

BFR training accelerates bone metabolism

Both aerobic and anaerobic exercises combined with BFR can provide satisfactory results related to the bone biomarkers.

Conclusion:

BFR is a feasible and applicable alternative to many population groups (elderly, young, physically active or not), that aim to treat or slow up the effects of bone diseases

Protocol:

• Sixteen women aged 59-78 years were partially randomized into either a slow walking with BFR group
• The BFR walk group performed 20-min treadmill slow walking 5 days per week for 6 weeks

CONCLUSIONS:

"After 6 weeks, leg venous compliance increased significantly in the BFR walk group"
