Low-intensity exercise with blood flow restriction: A novel training strategy to improve fitness and function in older people

与年龄相关的肌肉质量和心血管健康状况的下降会对老年人的日常生活任务产生不利影响。运动有助于保持身体能力，但许多老年人无法忍受推荐的高强度训练。这项研究项目将评估一种创新的运动形式，以增加老年人的肌肉和心血管健康，将低强度步行与在四肢上佩戴充气袖口相结合，以限制血液流动。

Age-related declines in muscle mass and cardiovascular fitness have debilitating effects on tasks of daily living for older people. Exercise helps to maintain physical abilities, but many older individuals cannot tolerate the recommended high-intensities of training. This research program will assess an innovative form of exercise to increase muscular and cardiovascular fitness for older people, combining low-intensity walking with wearing inflatable cuffs on the limbs to restrict blood flow.
