Despite causing notable hemodynamic responses compared to no exercise, the short-term LL resistance exercise with BFR modulates all hemodynamic parameters HR, SBP, DBP and MBP, similarly to a conventional resistance exercise protocol, whether at low or high-intensity. The chronotropic response is slightly higher in younger healthy individuals despite the similarity regarding pressure parameters.
