Research Impact: Evidence of a direct relationship between maximal speed and performance within competition (i.e., games and matches) is lacking in most stop-and-go sports. In ice hockey specifically, most research investigating skating speed and acceleration […]
Research Impact : The effect of blood flow restriction training (BFR) on maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) has been well documented. However, the exact mechanism for these improvements have yet to be identified, with both central […]
Research Impact : To further investigate the physiological impact of blood flow restriction exercise (BFR), we examined i) the effect of different occlusion pressures on several cardiovascular measures (echocardiographic images, heart rate, blood pressure), ii) […]
What is blood flow restriction exercise? Blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise involves the occlusion of the active limbs during regular resistance or aerobic exercise. By using a tourniquet to provide occlusion during exercise, there is […]
