On facebook these elastic bands are all over the place on my timeline. Basically "put these bands on, lift 20% of your 1RM to failure and amazing muscular changes happen. I asked for their research and studies and got links. I clicked two of them and they had pretty small numbers of participants.
Increase in myogenic stem cells:

Bench press study:

Cognitive improvement:

A method to standardize the blood flow restriction pressure by an elastic cuff:

Effects on Aerobic Performance:
https://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/...nS3h3OHI2amFNbndTdGlSczZXTmRyamhvRXByd3grIn0=
Rapid increase in Growth Hormone:
https://www.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/jappl.2000.88.1.61
Poked at the page about small numbers of the two studies I clicked on and got another "meta-analysis"
""" I would suggest you check out the 11 other articles I sent above, most of which is peer reviewed research. Here’s a good meta-analysis which included 400 participants over 19 studies:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1440244015001826
I'll lose these to my newsfeed and notifications so I'm making this thread and I know members here have experience at reading through studies and seeing problems with them.
If the links are against the rules I apologize. I'm not linking any products and dont endorse them. I just like digging. I've read lots of "studies" over the years. Since I asked for references I'm going to go through them.
