Key result
Low-intensity resistance training with partial vascular occlusion resulted in lower isometric delta elbow flexion (3.42 vs 9.61 N·m) compared to high-intensity resistance training.
Why the study?
Does low-intensity resistance training with partial vascular occlusion improve neuromuscular, morphological, and endothelial function compared to high-intensity resistance training in young, physically active adults?
RCT (n=28)

LI-BFR may enhance endothelial function in young adults; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Ramis et al. (2018) conducted an RCT in physically active adults (n=28). low-intensity resistance training with partial vascular occlusion (LI-BFR) vs. high-intensity resistance training (HI-RT) was evaluated on isometric delta elbow flexion (EF). Low-intensity resistance training with partial vascular occlusion resulted in lower isometric delta elbow flexion (3.42 vs 9.61 N·m) compared to high-intensity resistance training.
