Comparison of blood flow restriction training and conventional resistance training for the improvement of sarcopenia in the older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Sports medicine and health science. 2023 December
Age-related sarcopenia places a tremendous burden on healthcare providers and patients' families. Blood flow restriction (BFR) training may be a promising treatment to bring sarcopenia down, and it offers numerous advantages over traditional resistance training. The purpose of this review was to compare the effects of BFR training and conventional resistance training on clinically delayed sarcopenia in the elderly. Databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Science Direct were searched to identify eligible studies; blinded data extraction was performed to assess study quality, and conflicts were submitted to third parties. Someone made the decision. One author used Review Manager (RevMan) 5.4 and compared it with data obtained by another author for this purpose. A total of 14 studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. The funnel plots of the studies did not show any substantial publication bias. Low-load blood flow restriction (LL-BFR) had no significant effect on muscle mass compared with high-load resistance training (HL-RT) ( p = 0.74, SMD = 0.07, 95% CI : 0.33 to 0. 46) and LL-BFR had a significant effect on muscle strength compared with HL-RT ( p = 0.03, Z = 2.16, SMD = -0.34, 95% CI: 0.65 to -0.03 ). LL-BFR showed a slight effect on mass compared to LL-RT ( p = 0.26, SMD = 0.25, 95% CI : 0.19 to 0.69). Sensitivity analysis produced a nonsignificant change, suggesting that the results of this study are reasonable. In conclusion, the data suggest the possibility that BFR training improves age-related sarcopenia.
