Applying blood flow restriction changes walking kinematics, causing an overall increase in anterior trunk flexion and knee flexion during stance while simultaneously reducing plantar-flexion angle at toe-off and ankle joint velocity.Applying blood flow restriction exacerbate exercise-related sensations of exertion and discomfort.Sample site does not influence the level of post-exercise blood lactate or markers of cell-membrane potential and damage.
