Acute neuromuscular, metabolic, and perceptual responses to low-load isokinetic exercise under varying percentages of arterial occlusion pressure

Low-load isokinetic exercise performed at 70% AOP elicits robust neuromuscular and metabolic stimulation without additional gains relative to 80% AOP while imposing a substantially lower perceptual load. These findings support 70% AOP as a practical "compromise point" for acute BFRT prescription when balancing training stimulus and tolerability.
