Muscle swelling following blood flow‐restricted exercise does not differ between cuff widths in the proximal or distal portions of the upper leg

The purpose was to understand how wider cuffs, covering larger portions of the limb, may affect acute muscle swelling when used during low‐load knee extension exercise with blood flow restriction. A total of 96 individuals (53 females and 43 males) completed two visits, with visit one used for measuring maximal strength and arterial occlusion pressure (AOP), and visit two to compare between a narrow (5 cm) and a wide (12 cm) cuff for acute...
