Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our results show that 1) Elastic band blood-flow restriction (BFR) training increases thigh muscle CSA as well as maximal muscle strength, but does not decrease vascular function in older women. 2) BFR training significantly decreased PmvO2, and enhanced mTOR signaling pathways in skeletal muscle using a rat model, which may play a role in diminishing muscle atrophy under various conditions in human studies. 3) Facilities under the guidance of appropriate BFR training leaders or instructors can achieve safe and beneficial effects, regardless of subject age, gender, or physical condition in 2016 just as back in 2006. 4)The long-term BFR training were a highly safe and effective training method for a patient (57 years) with knee meniscectomy.
