Maximizing Blood Flow Restriction Training
Moderator: Dan Lepping, MS, LAT, ATC, CSCS, Children's Hospital Colorado
The educational gap in utilizing Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training lies in the implementation of this modality beyond post-operative patients to include performing athletes. This lecture and laboratory session will critically evaluate various methodologies of BFR training, encompassing not only the manipulation of repetitions and sets but also the integration of isometric exercises, range of motion activities, and protocols for common pathologies and maintenance of patients. The session will emphasize the importance of low-intensity resistance to provide proper metabolic stimulus, enhancing recovery, warm-up routines, and performance maintenance. Attendees will acquire comprehensive knowledge of this modality and gain practical, hands-on experience
Learning Objectives - Analyze BFR training methods for athletes beyond post-operative care.
- Evaluate low-intensity BFR protocols for performance.
- Apply knowledge to construct a tailored BFR protocol.
Lab Objectives
- Apply BFR techniques in isotonic, isometric, and range of motion exercises.
Keywords: BFR; Therapeutic Interventions; Rehabilitation
