Abstract | Background: Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) has gained considerable attention in both clinical and athletic settings for its ability to promote muscle hypertrophy and strength gains using low-load resistance. This is particularly relevant in powerlifting, where athletes are prone to overuse injuries due to high mechanical loading. Objective: This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of BFRT in enhancing muscle strength and hypertrophy among powerlifters. Methodology: A narrative literature search was conducted using databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library from 2015 to 2024. Ten peer-reviewed studies were selected based on inclusion criteria focusing on trained individuals, particularly powerlifters, and outcomes related to muscle strength and hypertrophy. Results: The review found that BFR training, when performed with low to moderate loads, can produce strength and hypertrophy gains similar to those achieved with traditional heavy-load training. Notable benefits included improved muscle activation, increased hormonal response, and reduced mechanical stress on joints. These effects were especially evident when individualized protocols were applied, such as adjusting cuff pressure and training volume. Conclusion: BFR training presents a safe and effective alternative or complement to conventional high-load resistance exercises in powerlifters. It allows for continued muscle development while minimizing the physical strain associated with heavy lifting. Future research should focus on optimizing BFR protocols and exploring its long-term effects in strength athletes. |
