Summary

Blood flow restriction (BFR) is a widely studied technique that combines low-intensity exercise with vascular occlusion, resulting in muscular benefits. However, its application is challenging due to methodological variations and equipment costs. Tissue Flossing (TF) appears as an affordable alternative, but lacks solid scientific evidence.

Conditions

  • Hypertrophy
  • Muscle Strength

Interventions

DEVICE

Tissue Flossing

Tissue Flossing ia a elastic band that when applied exerts an external pressure above or below a muscle or joint of the extremities.

DEVICE

Blood Flow Restriction Cuff

Inflatable device that exerts an external pressure above a muscle or joint of the extremities.

OTHER

Training Protocol

The upper limb resistance training protocol will follow that recommended in the study by Patterson et al. for resistance training, and will last 15weeks, with 3 training sessions per week, with a day break between sessions.
