Concurrent validity, agreement, intraday and interday reliability, operational feasibility, perceptual responses, and procedure-related symptoms were evaluated. Exploratory analyses examined whether sex modified the difference between automated and MDA-derived AOP measurements.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results.<\/jats:italic>\n                    MDA demonstrated good-to-excellent reliability (ICC = 0.84\u20130.98; CV = 1.38%\u20133.25%). The automated system demonstrated moderate-to-good intraday reliability (ICC = 0.74\u20130.85) but poor LL interday reliability (ICC = 0.36). Compared with MDA, automated AOP showed systematic bias and wide limits of agreement. No evidence of a sex-related difference in the between-method discrepancy was observed for either upper- or LL AOP. Although automated assessment reduced testing time by 81.9%\u201386.7%, frequent upper-limb (UL) measurement failures reduced the automated measurement success rate to approximately 57%, substantially increasing adjusted assessment time and limiting operational feasibility, while discomfort and affective responses were more favorable than with MDA.\n                    <jats:italic>Significance.<\/jats:italic>\n                    The automated AOP system improved assessment efficiency and participant experience but demonstrated less favorable reliability estimates, limited agreement, and frequent upper-limb measurement failures. Consequently, automated and MDA should not be considered interchangeable for individualized AOP prescription.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6579\/aea9ed","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,18]],"date-time":"2026-09-18T22:54:01Z","timestamp":1789772041000},"page":"095009","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Measurement properties and operational feasibility of an automated arterial occlusion pressure assessment system for blood flow restriction exercise"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"47","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-6279-3255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joanderson Felipe Soares","family":"Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of Southwest Bahia (UESB)"},{"name":"State University of Southwest Bahia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"project-administration","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-original-draft","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0430-5015","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nicholas","family":"Rolnick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The BFR PROS"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"resources","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-8127-8410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Luiza Araujo","family":"Cerqueira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of Southwest Bahia (UESB)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"visualization","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-2779-5467","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriela Mota Pinto","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of Southwest Bahia (UESB)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"data-curation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"visualization","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1800-1450","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafael","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of Southwest Bahia (UESB)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"resources","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5322-863X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mikhail Santos","family":"Cerqueira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of Southwest Bahia (UESB)"},{"name":"State University of Southwest Bahia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"data-curation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"formal-analysis","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"supervision","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-original-draft","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmeaaea9edbib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e1127","DOI":"10.1016\/j.asmr.2022.04.002","type":"journal-article","article-title":"An automated technique for the measurement of limb occlusion pressure during blood flow restriction therapy is equivalent to previous gold standard","volume":"4","author":"Abbas","year":"2022","journal-title":"Arthrosc.
