by Blood flow restriction (BFR) strength training is changing the way health and exercise professionals think about strength and muscular development. By allowing clients to achieve meaningful strength and muscle adaptations using lighter loads, BFR offers an effective and safe option for individuals who may not tolerate heavy resistance training due to joint discomfort, recovery needs, aging or other limitations. As interest in longevity, injury prevention and personalized programming continues to grow, understanding when and how to integrate BFR into practice has become an increasingly valuable coaching skill.
In this video, Ashley Selman, MA, CSCS, demonstrates how to safely introduce clients to BFR strength training, including proper cuff placement and practical coaching considerations for getting started.
This clip is a preview of the two-hour course, Coaching Blood Flow Restriction Strength Training: The Future of Fitness, where you'll explore the science behind BFR and why BFR is within an exercise professional’s scope of practice, identify the clients who can benefit most and learn how to confidently incorporate this evidence-informed approach into your programming. Whether you're looking to expand your coaching toolkit or better support clients who need lower load training options, this course provides the foundation to do so with confidence.
