What if the secret to bigger gains is doing LESS work?
In this episode of the Align Podcast, Aaron is joined by Alex Birks and Ethan Hill for a conversation on blood flow restriction (BFR) training and why it's gaining traction across rehab, fitness, and performance.
They break down how BFR works, when to use it, what to avoid, and the technology that is helping make it more accessible.
From rehab and pain relief to muscle growth and efficient training, this episode explores how BFR is changing the way we think about exercise.
More about Alex Birks + Ethan Hill:
Ethan C. Hill, PhD, CSCS, EP, is an Associate Professor in the School of Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Sciences and the director of the Strategies for Therapeutic Rehabilitation and Optimization of Neuromuscular Growth Laboratory at the University of Central Florida. The primary focus of Hill’s research is to identify exercise and/or rehabilitation strategies that elicit the most robust physiological responses among men and women, with a particular emphasis on neuromuscular and muscle function. His lab examines interventions using devices, exercise, or external stimuli to restore or maintain function in both clinical and general populations. He is currently leading research using blood flow restriction for multiple sclerosis patients and investigating its potential to counteract the effects of spaceflight on muscle and cardiovascular function.
