Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is, without a doubt, the most exciting innovation in exercise training I’ve encountered in my 50 years of exercise. To help us walk through how it’s done, and to discuss its many health benefits, is Dr. Jim Stray-Gundersen — an expert in BFR who has trained many elite and professional athletes.

É frequentemente repetido, mas é verdade: o exercício mantém você saudável. Ele aumenta o seu sistema imunológico, mantém a mente afiada, ajuda a dormir, mantém o seu tônus muscular e estende a sua vida saudável. Pesquisadores há muito suspeitam que os benefícios do exercício se estendem até o nível celular, mas sabem relativamente pouco sobre quais exercícios ajudam as células a reconstruir organelas-chaves que se deterioram com o envelhecimento. Um estudo publicado em 7 de março em Cell Metabolism descobriu que o exercício – e em particular o treinamento intervalado aeróbico de alta intensidade, como ciclismo e caminhada – impulsiona células a produzirem mais proteínas para suas mitocôndrias (produtoras de energia) e seus ribossomos (produtores de proteínas), efetivamente parando o envelhecimento no nível celular.

Do you have three or four minutes, one to three times a day, to devote to your health? By using that time to engage in one of the best high-intensity exercises out there — the Nitric Oxide Dump — you can improve your mitochondrial health, slowing down age-related muscle decline. The fact is, if you live in the U.S. and work full time, you sit an average of 13 hours a day, then sleep for an average of eight.1 This means you’re sedentary 21 hours of the day!
