Does low-load blood-flow restricted resistance training improve finger flexor muscle function in experienced climbers?
Low-load blood-flow restricted resistance training improves finger flexor muscle function similarly to high-load training in experienced climbers, offering a useful alternative during overload periods.
Despite lower mechanical load, LLBFRT conducted until failure significantly improved finger flexor muscular capacities to a similar extent than HLRT in experienced sport-climbers. This training modality may therefore be of particular interest during overload periods.
Perrin et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
