When Johnny's indisposed the podcast gets hijacked by Kyle, Zac and Ben. Johnny's loss is your win essentially. In this episode we discuss two recent papers that further help to elucidate the efficacy and effectiveness of BFR in combination with aerobic exercise. Here are the two papers we reviewed: Smith, N. D. W., Girard, O., Scott, B. R., & Peiffer, J. J. (2024). A comparison of physiological and perceptual responses to fixed‐power and perceptually regulated cycling with and without b...

In this episode Johnny and Kyle talk with Adam Weaver, PT and Dylan Roman, PT of Connecticut Children’s. They were part of a team that recently published a paper in The Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine detailing the results of a trial they conducted using BFR following ACLR in adolescents (12-18 y/o’s). The title of their paper is: Early- and Late-Stage Benefits of Blood Flow Restriction Training on Knee Strength in Adolescents After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Here’s a l...

Well Kyle got his knickers in a bunch over an article’s title so we decided to talk about it for an hour or so.
