The purpose of this investigation was to examine the progression of upper and lower body low-load (30% of one-repetition maximum [1RM]) resistance training (RT) with BFR applied intermittently during the exercise intervals (RT + BFR) versus volume-matched heavy-load (65% of 1RM) RT.<h4>Methods</h4>Men and women with MS (n = 16) were randomly assigned to low-load RT + BFR (applied intermittently) or heavy-load RT and completed 12 weeks (2 × /week) of RT that consisted of bilateral chest press, seated row, shoulder press, leg press, leg extension, and leg curl exercises. Exercise load, tonnage, and rating of perceived exertion were assessed at baseline and every 6 weeks.<h4>Results</h4>Training load increased to a greater extent and sometimes earlier for RT + BFR (57.7-106.3%) than heavy-load RT (42.3-54.3%) during chest press, seated row, and leg curl exercises, while there were similar increases (63.5-101.1%) for shoulder press, leg extension, and leg press exercises. Exercise tonnage was greater across all exercises for RT + BFR than heavy-load RT, although tonnage only increased during the chest press (70.7-80.0%) and leg extension (89.1%) exercises. Perceptions of exertion (4.8-7.2 au) and compliance (97.9-99.0%) were similar for both interventions.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The training-induced increases in load, high compliance, and moderate levels of exertion suggested that RT + BFR and heavy-load RT are viable interventions among people with MS. RT + BFR may be a preferred modality if heavy loads are not well tolerated and/or to promote early-phase training responses.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":1.9459101490553132,"endowment":1.9459101490553132,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"39162881","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4401716112","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"AdventHealth","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":1,"fwci":3.2648,"citation_percentile":0.9149991,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2024,"count":1},{"year":2025,"count":4},{"year":2026,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/text-and-data-mining","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00421-024-05584-2.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00421-024-05584-2/fulltext.html","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-024-05584-2","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39162881","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Cardiovascular and exercise physiology","Multiple Sclerosis Research Studies","Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention","Humans","Resistance Training","Male","Female","Multiple Sclerosis","Adult","Middle Aged","Muscle, Skeletal","Regional Blood Flow","Blood Flow Restriction Therapy"],"mesh_terms":["Blood Flow Restriction Therapy","Adult","Female","Humans","Male","Middle Aged","Multiple Sclerosis","Regional Blood Flow","Muscle, Skeletal","Muscle Strength","Resistance Training"],"keywords":["Blood flow restriction","Resistance training","Multiple sclerosis","Sports medicine","Physical medicine and rehabilitation","Medicine","One-repetition maximum","Physical therapy","Blood flow","Internal medicine","Psychology","Cardiology","Muscle","Exercise","Occlusion","Strength","Kaatsu","Periodized"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-03T19:36:01.795298Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
