In the resent years a lot of research attention has been directed toward low-intensity training with partial vascular occlusion as an alternative to the conventional high intensity strength training. Interestingly the low-intensity blood-flow occluded training is found to be at least as beneficial in causing muscle growth as the conventional strength training but with very little mechanical load on joints and tendons. Furthermore the blood-flow occluded training seem to result in a hyper-activation of muscle stem cells which play an important role in muscle regeneration.
