Blood-flow restriction training is a training technique that involves the application of a blood pressure cuff proximally to the muscle that is being trained and low-load training to elicit hypertrophy and increase muscle strength. This training technique has become popular among physical therapists, since both goals are attainable in patients unable to do high-load training due to their clínical condition. This study aims to describe the procedure of this technique and detail any contraindications.
