Clinical Corner: Blood Flow Restriction Training: An Evidence-Based Update for the Healthcare Professional

Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) is an emerging type of exercise that uses compression cuffs around an arm or leg to restrict or occlude blood flow. BFRT can produce improvements in muscle strength, hypertrophy, and aerobic capacity with only light resistance exercise and physical activity. This discussion will provide the healthcare professional with a BFRT evidence-based update on such topics such as BFRT scientific concepts, application & safety, exercise programming, and scope of practice considerations. This course is eligible for 1 Hour of CE Credit.
