Tissue oxygen saturation during different blood flow restriction exercise protocols

Master's thesis Sports Science ME517 - University of Agder 2018 Low load BFRRE induce more strength and hypertrophy than work-matched resistance exercise alone. Although the potential for hypertrophic adaptions seem to be comparable between high load conventional resistance exercise and low load BFRRE. Adaptions in hypertrophy following BFRRE seem to be greater with loads of 30% than 20%. There does not seem to be any relationship between the dose of low load BFRRE and the muscular adaption hypertrophy. There is lack of research of lower volumes, in terms of what is necessary for muscular adaptions. Hypertrophy is speculated to be more affected by frequency when exercising over shorter peri…
