We’re excited to announce a 3-year renewal of our education partnership with @kinesport_official through 2025. We can’t thank them enough for their first class professionalism!

We are looking forward to the future launching our new MASTERS SERIES workshop in March 2022 in collaboration with our online licensed content available at kinesport.fr! It is the first of its kind and will continue to be the standard of physical therapy BFR education in the future! (4.5 hours online + 8 hrs practical)

The future is bright. BFR is exploding and we’re just happy to be a small part in the worldwide growth of this modality.

Cheers! Thank you @kinesport_official!

🤓 FOCUS SYMPOSIUM !

Nicholas Rolnick fera partie des 35 speakers internationaux que nous aurons la chance d'accueillir lors de la 3ème édition du #Symposium, les 14 et 15 décembre prochains à Paris au Parc des Princes.

Son intervention portera notamment sur 🔎
« L'entraînement BFR peut-il être utilisé efficacement chez des individus/athlètes bien entraînés tout au long du continuum de réhabilitation et de performance pour augmenter la performance sportive ? »

Au cours des 20 dernières années, l'entraînement en BFR s'est rapidement développé, passant d'une pratique exclusive en bodybuilding à une recommandation d'inclusion dans la gestion post-chirurgicale des conditions orthopédiques courantes. Récemment, un nouvel intérêt s'est manifesté pour déterminer si l'entraînement du BFR pouvait améliorer les résultats musculo-squelettiques, cardiovasculaires et de performance chez les athlètes bien entraînés. L'objectif de cette courte présentation sera de mettre en évidence les façons dont l'ajout de l'entraînement BFR à l'entraînement de résistance et cardiovasculaire pourrait améliorer ces résultats et de théoriser les mécanismes qui sous-tendent ces adaptations. La présentation se terminera sur les moyens de renforcer les méthodologies des futures études sur les athlètes afin de nous aider à tirer des conclusions plus solides, basées sur des preuves, sur l'efficacité de l'entraînement BFR au sein de cette population.

Nicholas Rolnick animera également un workshop lors du symposium.

Limb occlusion pressure (LOP) has been recommended

Limb occlusion pressure (LOP) has been recommended as a standard approach to administering BFR training in clinical populations (Patterson, 2019). However, despite prior research showing LOP does not change much over the course of 4-8 weeks in healthy participants (Mattocks, 2019), other studies show LOP can change based on the time of day (Ingram, 2017), position (Hughes, 2018), cuff width (Loenneke, 2012) and even cuff bladder positioning (Spitz, 2020) on the limb.

In clinical practice, patients may present to the clinic at different times of day. This may influence LOP assessment. Similarly, whether or not the LOP changes between limbs during these different visits has not been investigated before. This study investigated whether assessment of LOP was reliable between different times of day and between limbs using the Delfi personalized tourniquet device (cuff width, 12 cm). Forty-two males and females participated in this study. Each reported twice to the lab separated by 3-10 days and at different times of the day to get their LOP, BP values and thigh circumferences assessed.

Results showed group values were not different between LOP taken at different times or between legs, but at the participant level, significant values were seen between legs and LOP and the 95% confidence interval was around 14 mm Hg. Interesting, this study did not support that SBP plays a role in LOP determination in the upper body, but pulse pressure and limb circumference does.

The results of this study highlight the importance of looking at individualized data compared to group means which may paint a slightly different outlook on assessment of LOP. As clinicians, assessment of LOP takes 2 minutes maximum and the results of this study suggest that if you see clients/patients at different times of the day, LOP values may change. Whether or not this has significance on perceptual, cardiovascular and/or musculoskeletal outcomes - we’ll see (but likely not). Last, this study tried to create an algorithm for LOP, but was largely unsuccessful as the equation under- or over-predicted LOP by as much as 50 mm Hg. This highlights the fact that we should be measuring LOP!
