The effect of blood flow training restriction on endothelial function and arterial stiffness: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

A systematic review and meta-analysis published in Blood Pressure examined how blood flow restriction (BFR) training affects endothelial function and arterial stiffness. The analysis found that BFR training may influence vascular outcomes, providing evidence relevant to physical therapists who incorporate this low-load resistance technique into rehabilitation programs. These findings have implications for patient selection and safety monitoring when applying BFR in clinical PT settings.
