Low-intensity BFR exercise does not induce postexercise hypotension in young normotensive men; challenges assumptions of equivalence to high-intensity training for acute BP effects.
Does low-intensity blood-flow-restricted resistance exercise reduce postexercise blood pressure in young normotensive men?
High-intensity resistance exercise, but not low-intensity blood-flow-restricted exercise, effectively induces postexercise hypotension in young normotensive men.
Rossow et al. (2011) studied this question.
