Does short-term low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction improve microvascular filtration capacity in healthy males?
Low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction enhances microvascular filtration capacity and muscle strength compared to training without restriction.
Evans et al. (2010) studied Healthy (n=9). Low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction vs. Low-intensity resistance training without blood flow restriction was evaluated on Calf filtration capacity. Low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction increased calf filtration capacity by 26%, whereas unrestricted training did not significantly increase it.
