Key result
Moderate intensity resistance training with partial blood flow restriction at 50 mmHg resulted in significantly greater handgrip strength than 75 mmHg or no restriction (p≤0.05).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to examine the effects of moderate intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction on muscle strength and forearm girth.

50 mmHg BFR augments moderate-RT handgrip gains over 12 days; extends low-pressure BFR evidence in healthy young adults.

Does moderate intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction improve muscle strength and forearm girth in young adult students?
p-value: p=≤0.05
Moderate intensity resistance training with 50 mmHg blood flow restriction is more effective for improving handgrip strength than training without restriction or with higher restriction in young adults.
Gujral et al. (2021) reported an RCT. Moderate intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction vs. Exercise training without restrictive pressure was evaluated on Muscle strength and forearm girth (p=≤0.05). Moderate intensity resistance training with partial blood flow restriction at 50 mmHg resulted in significantly greater handgrip strength than 75 mmHg or no restriction (p≤0.05).
