Imagine harnessing the power of a full-strength workout with just half the effort. Blood flow restriction (BFR) training, a cutting-edge fitness technique, is rewriting the rules of strength and recovery. It's exactly what it sounds like—strategically restricting blood flow to muscles to enhance results; making light weights feel heavier and short workouts immensely impactful.
Renowned Physiotherapist and India's First BFR Instructor, Dr GD Prathap, explains, "Blood flow restriction, or vascular occlusion training, is an age-old concept that originated in Japan in the 1960s, known as KAATSU training. It is applied by trained professionals, especially physiotherapists, to the elderly, post-surgery, or to improve performance in sports."
BFR training aims to mimic the effects of high-intensity exercise by recreating a hypoxic environment by using a cuff or strap to slightly tighten around your arms or legs during exercise.
