Key result
Whole-body vibration exercises combined with blood flow restriction resulted in small arteries staying stiffer for a longer period compared to exercises without restriction (P<0.05).
Why the study?
Do isometric exercises during whole-body vibration with blood flow restriction alter arterial elasticity and hemodynamics compared to without blood flow restriction in male subjects?

May prolong small-artery stiffness acutely with BFR-WBV; leaves open long-term vascular effects in larger trials.
Do isometric exercises during whole-body vibration with blood flow restriction alter arterial elasticity and hemodynamics compared to without blood flow restriction in male subjects?
p-value: p=<0.05
Adding blood flow restriction to whole-body vibration exercises prolongs small artery stiffness and increases cardiovascular demand.
Karabulut et al. (2018) studied this question. Whole-body vibration with blood flow restriction vs. Whole-body vibration without blood flow restriction was evaluated on Small arterial elasticity (p=<0.05). Whole-body vibration exercises combined with blood flow restriction resulted in small arteries staying stiffer for a longer period compared to exercises without restriction (P<0.05).
