Low-load training performed with specialised cuffs that partially restrict blood flow to a working limb.
Why Blood flow restriction training matters
It can create a muscle-building stimulus with lighter loads, but correct pressure and screening matter.
A practical example
A qualified professional may prescribe light leg extensions with an appropriate cuff pressure.
Common mistake
Improvising with tight bands or using BFR despite circulatory or medical contraindications.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
