Summary

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients showed systemic manifestations that may lead to a reduction in muscle strength, muscle mass and, consequently, to a reduction in physical function. On the other hand, high intensity resistance training (HIRT) are able to improve muscle strength and muscle mass in RA without affecting the disease course. However, due to the articular manifestations caused by this disease, these patients may present intolerance to HIRT. Thus, the low intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction (TBFR) may be a new training strategy for these populations. In this sense, the investigators speculate that TBFR could be beneficial in RA patients, as well as, HIRT.
