RESUMO
Blood flow restriction training, developed in 1966 in Japan, is a training modality that utilizes partial arterial and complete venous blood flow occlusion. Combined with low load resistance training, it aims to induce hypertrophy and strength gains. This makes it particularly suitable for people recovering from injury or surgery, for whom the use of high training loads is unfeasible. In this article, the mechanism behind blood flow restriction training and its applicability for the treatment of lateral elbow tendinopathy is explained. An ongoing prospective, randomized, controlled trial on the treatment of lateral elbow tendinopathy is presented.
