Key result

Upper-body resistance exercise generated greater changes in pulse wave reflections, while lower-body exercise induced greater systolic BP elevations; responses were similar with or without BFR.

Why the study?

Resistance exercise elevates hemodynamics and pulse wave reflection, but the effects of acute resistance exercise with blood flow restriction remained unclear.

Does resistance exercise with blood flow restriction produce similar hemodynamic and pulse wave reflection responses compared to high-load resistance exercise without blood flow restriction in young resistance-trained individuals?

Overview

Acute responses differ by body region independent of BFR; hypothesis-generating for vascular effects in larger cohorts.

Structured PICO

Does resistance exercise with blood flow restriction produce similar hemodynamic and pulse wave reflection responses compared to high-load resistance exercise without blood flow restriction in young resistance-trained individuals?

P
Population
23 young resistance-trained individuals evaluated for hemodynamic responses after upper- and lower-body resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction.
I
Intervention
Resistance exercise (upper-body or lower-body) with blood flow restriction (four sets of 30, 15, 15, and 15 repetitions at 30% 1-repetition maximum)
C
Comparator
Resistance exercise (upper-body or lower-body) without blood flow restriction (four sets of 8 repetitions at 70% 1-repetition maximum)
O
Outcome
Hemodynamics and pulse wave reflection assessed at rest, 10, 25, 40, and 55 min after exercisesurrogate

Main Result

p-value: p=<0.05

Low-load resistance exercise with blood flow restriction produces similar acute cardiovascular and hemodynamic responses to traditional high-load resistance exercise.

Cite This Study

Tai et al. (2021) studied Healthy (resistance-trained individuals) (n=23). Resistance exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) vs. Resistance exercise without BFR (4 sets of 8 repetitions at 70% 1RM) was evaluated on Hemodynamics and pulse wave reflection (p=<0.05). Upper-body resistance exercise generated greater changes in pulse wave reflections, while lower-body exercise induced greater systolic BP elevations; responses were similar with or without BFR.
