However, whether these factors are evoked with longitudinal BFR training remains unexplored at the myocellular level. Two distinct study protocols were conducted, covering 3\u00a0weeks (3\u00a0wk) or one week (1\u00a0wk). Subjects performed BFR exercise (100\u00a0mmHg, 20% 1RM) to concentric failure (BFRE) (3\u00a0wk\/1\u00a0wk), while controls performed work\u2010matched (LLE) (3\u00a0wk) or high\u2010load (HLE; 70% 1RM) (1\u00a0wk) free\u2010flow exercise. Muscle biopsies (3\u00a0wk) were obtained at baseline (Pre), 8\u00a0days into the intervention (Mid8), and 3 and 10\u00a0days after training cessation (Post3, Post10) to examine macrophage (M1\/M2) content as well as heat shock protein (HSP27\/70) and tenascin\u2010C expression. Blood samples (1\u00a0wk) were collected before and after (0.1\u201324\u00a0h) the first and last training session to examine markers of muscle damage (creatine kinase), oxidative stress (total antibody capacity, glutathione) and inflammation (monocyte chemotactic protein\u20101, interleukin\u20106, tumour necrosis factor \u03b1). M1\u2010macrophage content increased 108\u2013165% with BFRE and LLE at Post3 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05), while M2\u2010macrophages increased (163%) with BFRE only (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01). Membrane and intracellular HSP27 expression increased 60\u2013132% at Mid8 with BFRE (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05\u20130.01). No or only minor changes were observed in circulating markers of muscle damage, oxidative stress and inflammation. The amplitude, timing and localization of the above changes indicate that only limited muscle damage was evoked with BFRE. This study is the first to show that a period of high\u2010frequency, low\u2010load BFR training does not appear to induce general myocellular damage. However, signs of tissue inflammation and focal myocellular membrane stress and\/or reorganization were observed that may be involved in the adaptation processes evoked by BFR muscle exercise.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1113\/jp273907","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,8]],"date-time":"2017-05-08T12:52:56Z","timestamp":1494247976000},"page":"4857-4873","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":76,"title":["Blood
