Enhancing shoulder strength through blood flow restriction training: a systematic review and meta-analysis
This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that BFRT has the potential to improve shoulder flexion and internal rotation strength. However, its effects on abduction and external rotation appear to be limited. While the results are encouraging, low to very low certainty of the evidence (as assessed by GRADE) indicates that more high-quality trials are needed to confirm these results.
