Is 8 weeks of low-load resistance blood flow restriction training feasible and safe in people with Parkinson disease?
Low-load resistance blood flow restriction training is feasible and safe in people with Parkinson disease, showing promising improvements in muscle strength and mobility.
Mañago et al. (2025) conducted a cohort in Parkinson disease (n=20). Low-load resistance blood flow restriction training (BFRT) was evaluated on Feasibility (≥80% retention and adherence, and no serious intervention-related adverse events). Low-load resistance blood flow restriction training was feasible and safe in people with Parkinson disease, achieving 80% retention and 88% adherence with no serious adverse events.
