Summary

Blood flow restriction training is widespread in sport performance areas, where it has proven to be beneficial in strength and hypertrophy development. However, there are only few studies related to its effects on subjects with pathology, and currently, there is no recent clinical trial evaluating its effects on patients with RCRSP. We are aiming to define the potential benefits, acute and short-term effects of adding blood flow restriction to a low-load exercise training for patients with RCRSP.
