Postexercise systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure were not significantly different between the high-intensity and blood flow restriction protocols, though the BFR protocol significantly decreased SBP at 30 and 40 minutes compared to baseline (p ≤ 0.05).

Overview

Supports BFR as alternative to high-intensity exercise for postexercise hypotension; extends evidence to low-load protocols in normotensive men.

Structured PICO

Does low-intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction reduce postexercise blood pressure compared to high-intensity exercise in normotensive young men?

P
Population
15 normotensive young men, mean age 23.4 ± 3.4 years
I
Intervention
Low-intensity resistance exercise (3 sets of biceps curls at 40% of 1 repetition maximum) with blood flow restriction (BFR) and 60-second rest between sets
C
Comparator
High-intensity exercise (3 sets of biceps curls at 80% of 1 repetition maximum) with 120-second rest between sets
O
Outcome
Postexercise hypotensive response (systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure) measured for 60 minutes after exercisesurrogate

Low-intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction elicits a postexercise hypotensive response comparable to traditional high-intensity resistance exercise in normotensive young men.
