EVANS, RW et al. Blood flow restriction training in South Africa - a panel discussion. SA J. Sports Med. [online]. 2022, vol.34, n.1, pp.1-4. ISSN 2078-516X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2078-516x/2022/v34i1a14796.

BACKGROUND: Blood flow restriction (BFR) training uses a cuff to partially occlude venous blood flow and improve musculoskeletal training outcomes. Over the past 25 years, numerous studies have demonstrated its relative safety and efficacy OBJECTIVES: Blood flow restriction training is under review by the Health Professions Council of South Africa due to safety and ethical concerns. The objective of this roundtable discussion is to gain better insight into the current use and perception of blood flow restriction training in South Africa FORMATION OF PANEL: The expert panel had experience with the use of BFR training and included one representative from each of the following professions, namely, sports medicine, physiotherapy and biokinetics DISCUSSION: The panellists provided their unique perspectives on BFR training, whilst reaching a relative consensus on its safety, screening, efficacy, and appropriate use. Agreement on appropriate loading and occlusion pressure protocols during different phases of rehabilitation was less clear CONCLUSION: Although BFR is a safe and effective modality, the development of evidence-based protocols among different health professionals in South Africa is required to ensure good clinical practice
