Zusammenfassung
Introduction Low-load blood flow restriction (BFR) resistance training is an innovative training method with equivalent increases in strength as traditional high-load resistance training. While immediate physiological changes have been described, biomarkers for BFR resistance training induced muscle morphology changes are needed to assess its effect mechanisms and safety in healthy and various patient populations. The aim of this pilot study is to identify quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) biomarkers of BFR resistance training. Methods A prospective pilot study with 3 participants was conducted.
