Supports interchangeable narrow elastic or nylon cuffs in BFR resistance exercise; confirms material equivalence for fatigue and perception when widths match.
Does narrow elastic cuff compared to narrow nylon cuff affect repetitions to fatigue and perceptual ratings of exertion during blood flow restriction resistance exercise in males and females?
Elastic and nylon cuffs of the same width cause similar degrees of blood flow restriction and perceptual responses during resistance exercise.
