22nd Annual Patricia Leahy Memorial Lecture
Blood Flow Restriction Training for Individuals with Neurological Diagnoses"
Blood flow restriction (BFR) applied during low intensity exercise produces hypertrophy and strength gains equivalent to traditional training. Previous research has shown the positive effects of BFR on younger and older adults. However, the effectiveness of BFR on subjects with neurological issues has just begun. For this in-person seminar, researchers working in this area will present their ongoing research investigations and recent publications.
