2022 - Finale

It’s our final podcast for the year, so we thought we’d do a bit of Q&A as well as just cover a number of recent happenings in the BFR and rehab spaces that we’ve participated in or supported. Thanks so much for listening and don’t hesitate to send us questions or topics you’d like to hear us cover.

LUKE HUGHES, PHD TALKING BFR IN SPACE

This is one of our longer podcasts, but we cover a ton of ground here when it comes to space travel and the muscle, bone, and nervous system responses. Ultimately we’re curious how BFR might provide some solutions both for terrestrial life as well as for space travel and Dr. Luke Hughes helps us understand how BFR might fit into the picture. We hope you enjoy!!

ALEX FRANZ, MD

In this newest episode Johnny and Kyle talk with Dr. Alex Franz from the Department of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery at the University Hospital of Bonn. We discuss Dr. Franz's extensive research in blood flow restriction exercise and how he's using that path to solve big problems in medicine! This conversation is pretty epic! You're sure to enjoy. Below you'll find the papers of his we discussed.

WHEN BFR DOESN'T WORK

In this episode Johnny and the fellas discuss 4 papers where BFR did not work! What?!? How can that be???

Well...gotta listen to find out! Check out the full podcast here. 

We begin by discussing briefly how hard research in medicine is...
Here's a reference:
Howick, J., Koletsi, D., Ioannidis, J. P. A., Madigan, C., Pandis, N., Loef, M., Walach, H., Sauer, S., Kleijnen, J., Seehra, J., Johnson, T., & Schmidt, S. (2022). Most healthcare interventions tested in Cochrane Reviews are not effective according to high quality evidence: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 148, 160–169.

And here's a podcast discussing the paper:
ptinquest.com/episode-250-most-h…-quality-evidence/

Here's the paper Zac describes:
Tramer, J. S., Khalil, L. S., Jildeh, T. R., Abbas, M. J., McGee, A., Lau, M. J., Moutzouros, V., & Okoroha, K. R. (2022). Blood Flow Restriction Therapy For Two Weeks Prior to Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Did Not Impact Quadriceps Strength Compared to Standard Therapy. Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery: Official Publication of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the International Arthroscopy Association. doi.org/10.1016/j.arthro.2022.06.027

Here's the paper Kyle describes:
Iversen, E., Røstad, V., & Larmo, A. (2016). Intermittent blood flow restriction does not reduce atrophy following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Journal of Sport and Health Science, 5(1), 115–118.

Here's the paper Johnny describes:
Curran, M. T., Bedi, A., Mendias, C. L., Wojtys, E. M., Kujawa, M. V., & Palmieri-Smith, R. M. (2020). Blood Flow Restriction Training Applied With High-Intensity Exercise Does Not Improve Quadriceps Muscle Function After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Trial. The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 48(4), 825–837.

And here's the paper Ben describes:
Brumitt, J., Hutchison, M. K., Kang, D., Klemmer, Z., Stroud, M., Cheng, E., Cayanan, N. P., & Shishido, S. (2020). Blood Flow Restriction Training for the Rotator Cuff: A Randomized Controlled Trial. International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 1–6.
