Abstract

Blood flow restriction training has turned out to be an alternative that achieves results similar to those achieved by high intensity training. The present article offers the result of a research where, a bibliographical review was carried out to inquire about the effectiveness in increasing muscle strength, as well as to analyze the mechanisms of action and methodology of practical application, through the method of partial restriction of blood flow with endurance to low loads. The reviewed literature supports the positive effects of this method to generate hypertrophy and increase muscle strength, both in the healthy population and in the rehabilitation period. The main mechanisms proposed as mediators of this adaptation are increased secretion of growth hormone, intracellular signaling via anabolic and catabolic pathways, and the contribution of inflammatory or edematous processes. It was recommended to work with loads between 20 and 40 % of a maximum repetition and with a volume of 75 repetitions per session with training between 2 and 4 times a week, for a minimum of three weeks. The effects on neurological adaptation were discussed, without supporting evidence. It was concluded that the method of partial restriction of blood flow generates an increase in strength and hypertrophy and is recommended as a complementary and alternative method to high intensity exercise, in populations that are necessarily unable to train at high intensities.
