Effects of blood flow restriction training (BFR) and high intensity interval training (HIIT) on aerobic and anaerobic capacities of physically active individuals

Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR) and High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) are two exercise modalities that show promise in improving physical fitness. This study aims to investigate the differences between BFR with HIIT and HIIT alone on aerobic and anaerobic capacities in physically active...

description Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR) and High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) are two exercise modalities that show promise in improving physical fitness. This study aims to investigate the differences between BFR with HIIT and HIIT alone on aerobic and anaerobic capacities in physically active individuals through VO2max and Wingate tests, hypothesising that BFR with HIIT will elicit greater improvements in aerobic and anaerobic capacities than just HIIT itself.
