Effects of blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training on lower-limb strength and sport-specific performance in athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

A systematic review and meta-analysis published in Annals of Medicine examined whether combining blood flow restriction (BFR) training with conventional resistance training improves lower-limb strength and sport-specific performance in athletes. The analysis found evidence supporting BFR combined with resistance training as an effective approach for enhancing lower-extremity strength outcomes in athletic populations. These findings are relevant to PTs working in sports rehabilitation and performance contexts where BFR protocols are increasingly utilized.
