95% Reduced CK (Marker of Muscle Damage) + Pain After Eccentric Curls W/ Ischemic Pre-Conditioning (3x5min BFR)
In the study at hand, the cuffs were applied before, not during the exercise. This is not the first and it's certainly not going to be the last SuppVersity article about blood flow restriction (BFR). In contrast to previous articles, today's blog post does yet not focus on the effects of acute blood flow restriction on performance or gains. Rather than that, it discusses a recent study from the University Hospital of Düsseldorf (Germany) , the Göthe University in Frankfurt, and the German Sport University in Cologne which investigated the effects of so-called "ischemic preconditioning" (which could be described as pre-workout BFR) on muscle damage and pain in response to eccentric biceps curls.
