Light resistance with occlusion may minimize joint stress as an alternative to moderate loads; extends BFR training evidence for effort-matched rehabilitation.
Does light resistance exercise with partial occlusion alter effort sense and pain compared to moderate resistance exercise without occlusion?
Light resistance exercise with partial vascular occlusion alters pain and effort sense to a similar degree as moderate loads without occlusion, potentially minimizing joint stress while maintaining metabolic demands.
