Easy Pull To Tighten Buckle.
Successfully Used in Research
The BFR Bands brand has successfully been used in research. It has been shown to enhance aerobic capacity, endurance and muscular size at low training volumes and intensities.

Benefits of BFR Training

|---|---|---|
Increased Type II Fiber ActivationThe Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) bands reduce oxygen supply to the muscles in order to pre-fatigue slow twitch muscle fibers and diminish their response to workout loads, but to enable fast twitch muscle fibers to respond quickly to exercise training loads, resulting in faster lean muscle growth. |
Increased Growth FactorsBy only slowing venous blood flow out of the limbs, BFR disrupts the body's homeostasis – effectively increasing muscle protein synthesis, NOS-1 expression and mTOR signaling, resulting in increased muscle growth. The bands also boost muscle growth and enhance potential for muscle gain by reducing Myostatin concentrations. |
Better ‘Mapping’Your brain's primary job is safety and prediction before performance. The BFR Bands may enhance this by activating mechanoreceptors (stretch), baroreceptors (pressure), and chemoreceptors (from blood chemistry changes) in the limbs that enhance your brain's 'map' of where your body is relative to space. With this increased awareness, your brain's threat level goes down which means strength and performance goes |
