Silva‐Grigoletto et al. (2020) reported a review. Functional training with blood flow restriction (BFR) was evaluated. The integration of functional resistance training with blood flow restriction is proposed as a theoretical model to concomitantly improve muscle strength, hypertrophy, and functional physical abilities.
