Abstract in brief

Both low and high-volume blood flow restriction (BFR) treadmill walking improve maximum aerobic capacity (VO max) independently of changes in blood volume or hemoglobin mass, indicating other mechanisms are responsible for the improvement.
VO max increased significantly within 2 to 4 weeks of BFR training, with no significant changes in hemoglobin levels or blood volume, even though hormones like renin and copeptin showed large initial releases that diminished over time.
The study suggests that the enhancement in aerobic capacity from BFR treadmill walking is not solely due to central or peripheral blood adaptations, but may involve other physiological adaptations beyond blood volume and hemoglobin changes.]
