Does low-intensity resistance training combined with resistance exercise with blood flow restriction for other muscle groups improve muscular size and strength?
Low-intensity resistance training combined with blood flow restriction in other muscle groups may induce remote effects increasing muscular size and strength, potentially mediated by circulating factors.
The results indicate that low-intensity resistance training increases muscular size and strength when combined with resistance exercise with blood flow restriction for other muscle groups. It was suggested that any circulating factor(s) was involved in this remote effect of exercise on muscular size.
