Blood Flow Restriction Training Course

Blood Flow Restriction Training Course is organized by WebExercises, Inc..

Description:
This course will introduce you to the new and exciting training modality, Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT). Blood Flow Restriction Training is the brief and intermittent occlusion of both arterial and venous blood flow using a tourniquet while exercising at low intensities. Restricting the blood flow using a medical-grade tourniquet has been shown in scientific studies to be both safe and effective. A significant benefit of BFRT is building strength and muscle size while using light weights or resistance bands. For this reason, BFRT is a great strategy for those who cannot lift heavy weights, like the elderly or those recuperating from and injury but still want the benefits of high-intensity training.

Objectives:
• Describe Blood Flow Restriction and its application in rehab and performance
• List devices and equipment needed
• Identify exercises for upper or lower body
• State how BFRT can be used along the continuum of re-surgical preparation to improving performance (and everything in-between)
• Explain red or yellow flags and contraindications
