Abstract in brief

  • This study examined how different types of resistance training, especially with blood flow restriction (LIBFR), affect the thickness of the Achilles tendon, finding that LIBFR causes a significant decrease in tendon thickness immediately and up to 24 hours after exercise.
  • Participants were divided into three groups: low-intensity without blood flow restriction, low-intensity with blood flow restriction, and high-intensity exercise, with only the LIBFR group showing notable changes in tendon thickness.
  • The results indicate that blood flow restriction training might be a useful method to positively influence Achilles tendon properties, potentially benefiting tendon health and rehabilitation strategies.]
