Exercise with Blood Flow Restriction: Applying the Theory for Real-world Applications

Exercise with Blood Flow Restriction: Applying the Theory for Real-world Applications is organized by Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (SRALab) and will be held on Mar 26, 2025.

Description:
Work smarter, not harder! This webinar will provide an overview of blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise strategies and highlight how they can be incorporated into an exercise training program. Information will be provided regarding the acute responses and mechanisms of adaptation to BFR exercise and the typical improvements in fitness characteristics from BFR training. Guidance on how to use BFR during exercise will be provided, including using BFR to optimize rehabilitation after injury. Finally, safety considerations for implementing BFR will be discussed.

Learner Outcomes:
Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:  

• Define the physiology of blood flow restriction training
• Identify potential applications of BFR, potential adverse effects and contraindications
• Summarize evidence of BFR for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions
