Should not yet change practice; leaves open remote BFR effects on untrained muscles in larger trials.
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.
Madarame et al. (2008) studied this question.
