BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION

[IRONBULL05]

I read this in MD...

Blood flow restriction makes muscles grow.

A torurniquet is a pressure band that restricts blood flow to the muscles.Researchers from the University of Tokyo discovered that doing weight training exercises with a tourniquet wrapped around the muscle increased muscle size and strength more than just doing the exercies normally.
Cutting off blood flow may trigger cell damage,imflammation and increased stress,and anabolic hormone release,which may signal the muscles to grow.It also increased growth hormone,norepinephrine,and lactic acid levels in blood.

Growth hormone levels increased a whopping 290% above resting levels with no signs of muscle damage.

The results suggest that training with extremely light weight with blood flow cut off to the muscles stimulates growth hormone without causing significant tissue damage.In Japan,touniquet training (called Kaatsu) has become very popular.We need more research before we can recommend it.
