Low-Load Blood-Flow Restricted Resistance Training Improves Finger Flexor Muscle Function in Experienced Climbers: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Despite lower mechanical load, LLBFRT conducted until failure significantly improved finger flexor muscular capacities to a similar extent than HLRT in experienced sport-climbers. This training modality may therefore be of particular interest during overload periods.
