BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION

PRESENTED BY:

DR. MIKE DEBORD

Reduces oxygen flow

Easier, faster, more efficient

Deeper hypoxia & more lactate

Promotes NOx & HGH surge!

Better Results

The Breakthrough

Muscle size changes similar to HL exercise
BFR affects aerobic metabolism and endurance
Improves vascular endothelial function and peripheral blood circulation in elderly individuals

Does BFR Work?

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism

Increased strength and hypertrophy in young and older populations
Increased anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotypes by 163%

BFR allows the ATC and Therapist to create a more robust fatigue, with rehab level loads, resulting in BETTER OUTCOMES

Rehab Effect

8 of 32

BFR creates a faster, more efficient and robust fatigue, with less stress, less injury, and less recovery time,

creating BETTER RESULTS

Exercise Effect

9 of 32

BFR stimulates increased strength, better endurance, explosion, speed, all resulting in BETTER PERFORMANCE

Performance Effect

10 of 32

An exercise intensity above lactate threshold (burn), will result in the greatest secretion of HGH

BFR Induced Lactate

300-1000% increase in blood lactate in 5 minutes

Growth Hormone

Exercise without BFR : GH >.32 ng/ml

Exercise with BFR : GH > 8.49 ng/ml

25 times greater release of GH

Most people have never experienced this surge

of HGH!

IGF-1

IGF1 signaling plays a major role in controlling aging and lifespan.

Positive effects on metabolism, increasing lean body mass and decreasing fat. Boosts hyperplasia in muscle cells, which leads to fuller muscle tissue

Increase in regenerative properties of the body's nerve tissues.

Upregulates antioxidant benefit and ligament strength.
