Abstract: OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the acute effects of low-load blood flow restriction (LLBFR) and low-load (LL) resistance exercise on muscle excitation, neuromuscular efficiency, and average torque. METHODS: Eleven men (age±SD=22±3yrs) randomly performed LLBFR and LL that consisted of 30 unilateral leg extensions at 30% of one-repetition maximum while surface electromyography (sEMG) and torque were simultaneously assessed. Polynomial regression analyses and slope comparisons were performed to examine patterns of responses and rates of change. RESULTS: =0.198-0.325). CONCLUSION: LLBFR elicited greater fatigue-induced increases in muscle excitation and decreases in neuromuscular efficiency than LL, but neither LLBFR nor LL affected average submaximal concentric torque.
