What is the relationship between my blood pressure and the B Strong training system pressure?Updated a year ago
When one uses a blood pressure cuff, or surgical tourniquet, and if it is applied at a pressure higher than systolic blood pressure, occlusion can occur. So with those systems, there is an important relationship between cuff pressure and blood pressure.
The B Strong BFR Bands, by virtue of the width, construction, and material properties, has been designed so it cannot occlude the circulation. Therefore, from a safety standpoint, the pressures prescribed in the B Strong Training System pressure has little or no consideration to a person’s blood pressure.
The pressure in the B Strong BFR Bands restricts or impedes venous blood from returning to the central circulation. The higher the pressure, the more blood is held in the limb and the more the circulation is slowed. The higher the pressure, the greater the muscle force needed to push blood past the impediment and back to the central circulation. In contrast to BP cuffs and tourniquets, the pressure prescribed for B Strong BFR Training System has little or nothing to do with the individual’s blood pressure.
