Abstract

Resistance training is the main method of exercise to induce muscular adaptations. Adaptations to resistance training can allow for more proficient generation of force through various neuromuscular systems. Maintenance of muscular strength and hypertrophy plays an important role in various populations such as the sedentary population which enhances the performance of daily activities. As there is a correlation directly between muscle cross-section area and production of force, strength training induced muscle hypertrophy is crucial for optimal adaptation of strength. Occlusion or blood flow restriction (BFR) is an exercise approach which uses partial restriction of arterial inflow and full restriction of venous outflow among engaged muscles when exercising. The physiological changes in the body from occlusion training results are various. Hence, the aim of this study has been to examine the effects of occlusion or blood flow restriction practice with low loads to the effects of traditional strength training mostly with high loads on maximal muscle strength in healthy people. From the discussion, the journals show that despite the wide discrepancies in external loading protocols such as severity between the two exercise modalities, low-load blood flow restriction training (LL-BFR) and standard high-load strength training have facilitated comparable to or equivalent increases in muscle strength. To summarize this meta-analysis and journal review, according to the findings of this research, the methods used in blood flow restriction or occlusion training are comparable to the modifications in resistance training using high loads in inducing changes of maximum strength in muscle tissues.
