| Core Tip |
Blood flow restriction (BFR) training appears to be a safe and effective strategy to enhance muscle strength, functional capacity, and cardiorespiratory fitness in individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Typically performed with low loads (10%-40% one-repetition maximum), continuous occlusion, and a frequency of 2-3 sessions per week, BFR has shown high adherence and favorable outcomes without serious adverse events. However, cautious implementation is essential in patients with advanced or unstable conditions. When applied under clinical supervision, BFR represents a promising adjunct to traditional cardiac rehabilitation programs, expanding therapeutic possibilities in CVD. |
