CHAPTER

The Role of Hypoxia in Muscle Growth

There's a couple of studies in this particular category, BFR with non-BFR with the same load and we can compare BFRs with different occlusion pressures. And they're all telling us the same thing, which is that hypoxia levels are different, but the hypertrophy outcomes are identical. So essentially really kind of, I think, pushing us quite strongly away from considering hypoxia as a mechanism that is going to stimulate muscle growth.
