1 study
  1. Walking exercise + blood flow restriction improves timed Up and Go test in humans.

    “as well as functional performance (TUGT and 10MWT), quality of life (PDQ-8), and total UPDRS scores”

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Walking exercise + blood flow restriction improves flow-mediated dilation in humans.

    “In contrast, WALK-BFR demonstrated significant improvements in BDNF and FMD (both p < 0.05)”
