generally low in nature (45% heart rate reserve or 40% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) 10. Which of the following authors showed that BFRT is safe to use? a. Clark b. Odinsson and Finsen a. Increase muscle size and strength b. Increase aerobic conditioning c. Increased flexibility d. Faster recovery 12.

What is true of the science behind BFRT? c. Poton and Polito d. All of the above 11. What is not a benefit of BFRT? a. BFRT increases growth hormone and decreases myostatin b. BFRT decreases insulin-like growth factor 1 c. BFRT decreases mTor and mTORc d. All of the above
4.
The BFRT abbreviation means: a. Blood fuel restriction training b. Blood flow resistance training c. Blood flow restriction training d. Blood flow restriction technique What is NOT an indication for BFRT? a. Weakness b. Muscle atrophy c. Poor wound healing d. In-season weight training
5.
6.
What mechanisms do we think explain the benefits of BFRT? a. Increased human growth hormone b. Decreased insulin-like growth factor 1 c. Increased myostatin d. All of the above What is NOT true about strength training? a. Exercise for 3-8 weeks, 3x/week, with 50-75% 1RM will result in increased strength b. Exercise for 3-8 weeks, 3x/week, with 75-100% of 1RM results in increased strength c. HIRT causes muscle damage, which initiates the body’s response that leads to increased strength d. Exercises with BFRT, with 20-40% 1RM, are sufficient to increase strength
