Hi everyone. Welcome to episode 4.
Osteoporosis is a relevant issue in an ageing population. Strength training has been shown to assist with improving outcomes with those who have osteoporosis. The addition of low-load BFR to a strength training routine is that it can provide the user with similar benefits to that of traditional high-load resistance. In an ageing population this has multiple benefits due to the need to not having to lift heavy loads.
This podcast reviews the article: Chronic Effect of Strength Training with Blood Flow Restriction on Muscular Strength among Women with Osteoporosis by Silva, J. et al., (2015). Journal of Exercise Physiology Online, 18(4).
It covers some fantastic practical outcomes from other studies as well.
This article fits well with my interview with Kelly Beahan in "how you do BFR."
Kelly has extensive experience as a strength and conditioning coach in a multitude of professional and top tier sports:Kelly is urrently preparing Australian Paralympian Sit Ski Athlete Sam Tait (click here to check some of his training) who competes in Alpine Ski and Slalom events for World Cup events scheduled for the Northern Hemisphere Winter and Beijjing 2022 as well as partnering with US based S&C Coach Joel Jamieson as the Australian distributor for the Morpheus Recovery Band.
She also does a lot of injury rehabilitation work so make sure you look her up at the following:
