Interventional study reveals low-load blood flow-restricted exercise drives fiber-independent muscle growth and function in older adults, suggesting an efficient therapy against age-related decay.
We provide novel insight, that as little as 6 wk of low-load blood flow-restricted resistance exercise (BFRRE) produces pronounced fiber type-independent hypertrophy, alongside improvements across a broad range of muscle functional capacity in older individuals. Notably, since these results were obtained with a modest exercise volume and in a very time-efficient manner, BFRRE may represent a potent exercise strategy to counteract age-related muscle decay.
