Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the potential differences in acute hemodynamic responses and muscular performance outcomes following resistance exercise between traditional blood flow restriction (TRA BFR ) and a novel band tissue flossing method (BTF BFR ). METHODS: Fifteen healthy young adults (23.27 ± 2.69 years) visited the lab for three sessions (≥72 h apart). Each session’s exercise consisted of three sets of 20 maximum-effort seated leg extensions and flexions with one of three conditions: control (CON), TRA BFR (50% limb occlusion pressure (LOP)), or BTF BFR . During TRA BFR and BTF BFR sessions, occlusion was applied immediately prior to exercise and removed immediately after. Heart rate was collected prior to exercise, after onset of occlusion, immediately after exercise, and one-minute after removal of occlusion. Ultrasonography was performed prior to, and at least 30 s after, occlusion. RESULTS: BTF BFR caused greater reductions in arterial distance (14.28%, p = 0.010) and arterial area (28.43%, p = 0.020) than TRA BFR . BTF BFR was able to significantly reduce arterial flow below pre-occlusion values, while TRA BFR did not. Both conditions caused significant elevations in heart rate following occlusion (TRA BFR : +4.67 bpm, p = 0.046 and BTF BFR : +6.07 bpm, p = 0.034), immediately post-exercise (TRA BFR : +56.93 bpm, p < 0.001 and BTF BFR : +52.79 bpm, p < 0.001) and one-minute post-exercise (TRA BFR : +15.71, p = 0.003 and BTF BFR : +14.57, p < 0.001). Only BTF BFR caused significant reductions in performance as measured by average power per repetition. CONCLUSIONS: BTF BFR causes a more exaggerated decrease in arterial blood flow as well as muscular power when compared to traditional TRA BFR at 50% of LOP.
