Week 8 Discussion

The reading covers many different types of resistance training programs and methods, even touching on some "extreme conditioning programs" like CrossFit. However, there is no mention of blood flow restricted resistance exercise despite quite a bit of recent evidence being published. 

Therefore, I'd like everyone to look into this a topic a bit on your own and answer the following questions in your post:

·  In your own words, what is blood flow restricted exercise?

·  What effect does blood flow restricted resistance exercise have on muscular fitness?

·  For whom might may blood flow restricted resistance be beneficial?

You should use peer-reviewed evidence to support your answer to the second question. Please make sure to include a reference to the evidence you cite in your post.
