Acute low-intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction (LIRE-BFR) may induce increases in central blood pressure and pulse wave velocity in healthy young people.
Practitioners should be aware that LIRE-BFR can lead to increased central blood pressure and arterial stiffness in young clients.
