Narrow Cuffs Decrease The Perceptual Of Discomfort With Blood Flow Restricted Exercise

Wide cuffs cause arterial occlusion at lower pressures but may produce greater discomfort during blood flow restricted exercise compared to more narrow cuffs when applied to the same absolute pressure. Whether this is true at the same relative pressure or if this differs by sex is currently unknown. PURPOSE: To examine how cuff size and sex affect perceptual discomfort following blood flow restricted exercise. METHODS: Forty-nine participants...
