CUFF POSITION
Wear your cuffs for maximum effectiveness and safety. Do not place cuffs anywhere else.
You may see online videos where BFR cuffs, straps, or wraps are worn on different locations of the body. These positions are incorrect! If the cuff covers the bicep, is just above or below the knee, then the results you get will not match those in the research and may even be dangerous!
HOW BFR WORKS
BFRT is the combination of partial arterial occlusion combined with low-intensity exercise. The result, when performed to muscle fatigue, is the increase of GH (Growth Hormone), IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor), anabolic growth factors, fast-twitch fiber recruitment, muscle protein synthesis (via mTOR pathway), heat shock proteins (HSP), nitric oxide synthase-1 (NOS-1), and decreased expression of myostatin.
FULL VENOUS OCCLUSION + PARTIAL ARTERIAL OCCLUSION,
Studies show that BFRT requires full venous occlusion and partial arterial occlusion between 20% and 70% to be effective. Fully occluding arterial flow is dangerous and counter-productive! Arterial occlusion below 20% is ineffective, and above 85% requires extreme care.
LOW-INTENSITY EXERCISE - 20% TO 35% OF 1 REP MAX (1RM)
For producing beneficial fatigue, combining BFR with low-intensity exercise (LI) delivers nearly identical results when compared to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) while reducing the risk of damage to joints or tearing muscle fibers.
​
For performance, you can adjust both the pressure of the cuff and increase the amount of resistance to generate results.
