ABSTRACT

In order to induce muscle hypertrophy, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends training with intensities above 70% of 1 MR. However, it has been demonstrated that similar results in the induction of muscle hypertrophy can be obtained by training at lower intensities (20-50% of 1 RM) in combination with the application of a vascular occlusion technique, placing a blood flow restrictor device at the proximal level of the limb to work. Even though the mechanism by which this technique produces muscle hypertrophy has not been established with complete clarity, training with vascular occlusion (TVO) is an effective alternative for people who do not have the capacity to lift large loads. In the following review, we summarize the findings of some studies on the subject around their possible mechanisms of action, effectiveness in training and prospects of practical application for muscle rehabilitation.
