This commentary highlights the potential risk of muscle damage and rhabdomyolysis associated with blood flow restriction exercise, emphasizing the need to recognize the nuances of its safety profile.
Wernbom et al. (2020) conducted an editorial in Exercise-induced muscle damage and rhabdomyolysis. Blood flow restriction resistance exercise (BFR-RE) was evaluated. Excessive exhaustive blood flow restriction resistance exercise can induce marked delayed elevations in creatine kinase and myoglobin, consistent with muscle damage and rhabdomyolysis.
