Repeated Sprint Training with BFR: Aerobic and Strength Benefits in Basketball
Welcome back to BFR Radio, and to the next episode in our aerobic BFR training series.In this episode, we explore a fascinating 4-week study that combines repeated sprint training with BFR cuffs in university-level basketball players.
Article: Elgammal, M., Hassan, I., Eltanahi, N., & Ibrahim, H. (2020). The effects of repeated sprint training with blood flow restriction on strength, anaerobic and aerobic performance in basketball. International Journal of Human Movement and Sports Sciences, 8(6), 462-468.
Here’s what we cover:
📋 The study protocol: 15m shuttles, 3x/week, progressive BFR pressure
🏋️♂️ Strength gains: +22.7kg in squat 1RM (BFR group)
💨 Anaerobic improvements
🫁 Aerobic gains: VO₂max up 7.9 mL/kg/min
🧠 How this protocol can be used in real-world team sport settings
⚙️ Cuff pressure strategy and how to adapt it with different BFR brands
This is a highly applicable episode for S&C coaches, sport scientists, and practitioners working in field and court-based sports.We also discuss practical considerations around pressure, cuff types, and short-block periodisation.
