Key result
Lower body resistance training (HI, MI, and LI-BFR) significantly increased calf vascular conductance compared with control (47.5 vs 35.0 flow per mmHg) without affecting arterial compliance.
Why the study?
Does high-intensity, moderate-intensity, or low-intensity blood flow-restricted lower body resistance training improve arterial compliance and calf blood flow in young men compared to no exercise?
Population
46 young men
Comparison
High-intensity, moderate-intensity, or… vs Non-exercise control group

May support resistance training for calf conductance in young men; leaves open arterial compliance effects and clinical translation.
Does high-intensity, moderate-intensity, or low-intensity blood flow-restricted lower body resistance training improve arterial compliance and calf blood flow in young men compared to no exercise?
Absolute Event Rate: 47.5% vs 35%
Low-intensity blood flow-restricted resistance exercise is an effective alternative to high-intensity training for improving calf vascular conductance in young men.
Fahs et al. (2011) studied this question. Lower body resistance training (HI, MI, or LI-BFR) vs. Non-exercise control was evaluated on Calf vascular conductance (CVC). Lower body resistance training (HI, MI, and LI-BFR) significantly increased calf vascular conductance compared with control (47.5 vs 35.0 flow per mmHg) without affecting arterial compliance.
