02 Jun Blood Flow Restriction Training Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training, often referred to as ‘Occlusion training’, is a relatively innovative training method that is increasing in popularity for the more elite training sectors as athletes look to gain an edge. Whilst it isn’t a new discovery, the strong support from recent scientific research and systematic reviews of peer reviewed research has pushed the method to the forefront of modern training. It is important to note that the aforementioned support is for muscular size

Anatomically, there are multiple muscles that may be the underlying problem however generally it is found to be more specifically the Peroneus Brevis (due to load distribution). The peroneal muscle group is located on the lateral (outer) part of the lower leg, and their primary functions involve ankle dorsiflexion and ankle eversion. • The three classifications:
