Why the study?
Strength training with blood flow restriction can be applied continuously or intermittently, but its effect on the hemodynamics of hypertensive women remains unclear.
Does low-load resistance exercise with continuous or intermittent blood flow restriction affect hemodynamics in women with controlled hypertension?
Comparison
Continuous vs intermittent blood flow restriction during resistance exercise of upper vs lower limbs across eight protocols
Design
Randomized counter balanced crossover clinical trial
Follow-up
60 minutes after the exercises

Similar acute hemodynamic responses occur with continuous or intermittent BFR during low-load RE in hypertensive women; leaves open chronic effects in larger trials.
Does low-load resistance exercise with continuous or intermittent blood flow restriction affect hemodynamics in women with controlled hypertension?
Low-load resistance exercise with continuous or intermittent blood flow restriction promotes similar, safe hemodynamic variations in women with controlled hypertension.
